Get a better 'read' on barrier properties.Two new testing machines testing machine Machine used in materials science to determine the properties of a material. Machines have been devised to measure tensile strength, strength in compression, shear, and bending (see strength of materials), ductility, hardness, impact strength ( are said to offer a new level of precision and ease of use for measuring watervapor and oxygen transmission rates of flexible and rigid packaging. Developed by Mocon, Inc., Minneapolis, Permatran-W Model 700 and Oxtran Model 702 feature the company's proprietary coulometric oxygen sensor An oxygen sensor is an electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being analyzed. It was developed by Robert Bosch GmbH during the late 1960s under supervision by Dr. Günter Bauman. and modulated mod·u·late v. mod·u·lat·ed, mod·u·lat·ing, mod·u·lates v.tr. 1. To adjust or adapt to a certain proportion; regulate or temper. 2. infrared water-vapor detector. This new generation allows seven different products to be tested independently and simultaneously. Also new is a pushbutton-actuated pneumatic pneumatic /pneu·mat·ic/ (noo-mat´ik) 1. pertaining to air. 2. respiratory. pneu·mat·ic adj. 1. Of or relating to air or other gases. 2. clamping device, which makes it easier to load material into the cell and provide consistent pressure for accurate and repeatable results. Computerized gas-flow control replaces manual adjustments. Software includes a handy QuickStart feature that allows operators to begin testing with only four mouse clicks.
