Description (English):

ISO 15106-1:2003 specifies an instrumental method for determining the water vapour transmission rate of plastic film, plastic sheeting and multi-layer structures including plastics, using a humidity detection sensor. NOTE The method provides rapid measurement over a wide range of water vapour transmission rates.

Abstract

Overview

EN ISO 15106-1:2005 is a European-adopted international standard specifying a precise instrumental method for determining the water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) of plastic films, plastic sheeting, and multi-layer plastic structures. This standard employs a humidity detection sensor technique, enabling rapid and reliable measurement of moisture permeation across plastic materials under controlled environmental conditions. It is applicable for quality control, research, and development in plastics manufacturing and packaging industries, providing essential data to assess barrier properties against water vapour transmission.

Key Topics

Water Vapour Transmission Rate (WVTR): Quantifies the amount of water vapour passing through a unit area of plastic film or sheeting over a 24-hour period, expressed as grams per square meter per 24 hours [g/(m²·24h)].
Humidity Detection Sensor Method: Uses an instrumental setup with a humidity sensor in a dry chamber separated from a wet chamber by the plastic specimen. The humidity sensor detects changes as water vapour passes through the material.
Test Setup Components:
- Two-chamber transmission cell with upper (dry) and lower (humid) compartments
- Humidity sensor with high precision and quick response (
