Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Elcometer 5100 Payne Permeability Cups are designed to measure the permeability of films such as paints, varnish, plastic, and cellophane. These cups are constructed from anodised aluminium and are used to determine the degree of permeability by calculating the weight change relative to film thickness over time.

Usage Instructions
  1. Fill the cup with the required liquid (typically water) or a dry desiccant.
  2. Disassemble the permeability cup.
  3. Place the film onto the cup and reassemble, ensuring the gasket is fitted first.
  4. Weigh the prepared permeability cup and record the result in grams.
  5. Leave for the appropriate time, re-weigh, and calculate the change in mass (∆m) and water vapour transmission rate.
  6. Prepare the film to be tested using a film applicator and suitable test chart.

Note: For use with Elcometer 8720 compact balance.

Elcometer 5100 Payne Permeability Cups The Elcometer 5100 Payne Permeability Cups are made of anodised aluminium and are used to determine the permeability of films of paints, varnish, plastic, cellophane, etc. The water evaporates or is absorbed and, after a certain time, the weight change relative to the film thickness is calculated, indicating the degree of permeability or permeance.
