Elcometer 5100
Payne Permeability Cups

Instrument made entirely of anodised aluminium, used to determine the permeability of films of paint, varnish, plastic, cellophane, etc.

The film is gripped between a ring fitted with a seal and the cup, which contains a quantity of water.

The water evaporates and after a certain time the weight loss relative to the film thickness is calculated, indicating the degree of permeability.

Can be used in accordance with:

• ASTM E 96-80

• ISO 7783

• NF T 30-018
