ASTM F1307 Test Standard for Oxygen Delivery Rate from Dry Packs Using a Coulometric Sensor

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM F1307 standard. The ASTM F1307 standard covers a procedure for determining the steady-state transmission rate of oxygen gas to packets. More specifically, the method is applicable to packages that would normally contain a dry environment.

This standard uses a coulometric oxygen sensor and associated equipment in an arrangement similar to that described in test method D 3985. The oxygen gas transmission rate is determined after the package is mounted in a test fixture and stabilized in the test environment.

The package is mounted in such a way that while the outside of the package is exposed to a known concentration of oxygen, the inside of the package is gently purged with a stream of nitrogen. The package may be exposed to ambient room air containing 20,8% oxygen or immersed in an atmosphere containing 100% oxygen. As the oxygen penetrates the nitrogen carrier gas through the package walls, it is transported to the coulometric detector, where it produces an electric current whose magnitude is proportional to the amount of oxygen flowing into the detector per unit time.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.

Our organization, EUROLAB, provides Standard Test Method services for the oxygen transmission rate from dry packages using a coulometric sensor, within the framework of national and international standards, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies. Provides testing services within the scope of ASTM F1307 standard.
