HumiSys LF pdf file
(Each of the RH generators can be used separately for other
applications and the operational software is provided.)
Typical  Applications
  • Monitoring the sample mass uptake or loss as a function of time by varying relative humidity or temperature (or both).
  • Study of permeability of different vapors through membranes, fabrics in controlled RH and temperature environment using special cells.
  • Possible expansion to density and surface tension measurements.
Advantages
- More representative sample can be used
- No limit on dynamic range (compare to 500mg or +-200mg of other  microbalances)
- Large selection of balances and weighing modules to satisfy any application
- Easy installation by the user, virtually maintenance free
- Independent modules, each with its own software
- Robust, easy to service and operate
- Perfect for R&D and industrial QC environment
- Economical to use (air can be supplied from a compressor)
- Special applications can be easily addressed
- Independent use of modules for other purposes, e.g. RH Generator
-
Ability to measure water vapor transport rates, WVTR, using special cells
- Capability of determining of organic vapors permeability through membranes
- Ability to determine deliquescence points
