Measuring vapour permeability of electronics enclosures

Liquid water is easy to keep out of things – seals and plastics are excellent barriers. However, water vapour can permeate right through those same plastics and barriers almost as if they were not there and in large volumes.

Versaperm has developed a new, highly accurate, multi-chamber instrument that allows manufacturers to identify and correct problems by measuring vapour permeability of enclosures
