DIN 53380-2 Testing of Plastics - Determination of Gas Transmission Rate - Manometric Method for Testing Plastic Films

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of DIN 53380-2 test. DIN 53380-2 is a German industrial standard belonging to the DIN 53380 series that relates to the testing of plastics. In particular, DIN 53380-2 focuses on the determination of gas transmission rate for plastic films using the manometric method. This standard outlines a test procedure and methodology for measuring the rate at which gases pass through plastic films.

DIN 53380-2 Testing of Plastics - Determination of Gas Transmission Rate - Manometric Method for Testing Plastic Films

The primary purpose of DIN 53380-2 is to determine the gas transmission rate, which is a measure of the ability of a plastic film to allow gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide or other gases to pass across a surface.

The standard specifies the use of the manometric method to perform these measurements. In this method, a plastic film is sealed between two chambers and the change in pressure inside one of the chambers is measured over time as the gas passes through the film. This pressure change is used to calculate the gas transmission rate.

DIN 53380-2 provides detailed information on test conditions, including temperature, humidity and the type of gases used in the test. These conditions may vary depending on the specific requirements of the test.

This standard is important in industries where the gas permeability of plastic films, such as packaging materials, is a critical factor and controlling the transmission of gases is important to maintain the quality and shelf life of the products.
