All Systech Illinois analysers are certified traceable to NIST. In addition, analyticalperformance is validated using NIST certified gases and NIST traceable films. A set ofvalidation films and a spare P2O5 sensor comes as standard with all of the water vapourpermeation analysers.
These analysers offer precision temperature and humidity flow control providing ultimateresponsiveness and repeatability.
Manufacture traceable to NIST
The two most common sensor types for measuring moisture are IR (infra-red) and P2O5
(phosphorous pentoxide). The P2O5 sensor is more sensitive and stable than IR and does notrequire calibration. P2O5 is the primary method for absolute moisture measurement. SystechIllinois have over 25 years experience of using P2O5 sensor technology.
*The Systech Illinois 7000 analysers comply with ASTM standard F-1249 with the exception ofthe sensor technology. The standard relates to an infra-red sensor whilst the Systech Illinoisanalyser uses a coulometric sensor - a dedicated method of moisture analysis.

Actual data
The intuitive Windows basedsoftware offers:
Easy input and recall of operating parameters and test protocols.
User-friendly data tracking, searches, sorts, storage and output capabilities.
Graphical representation of measurement data in real time.
Auto-stop feature stops test when samples have reached equilibrium or by user entered elapsed time value.
Complete system diagnostics.
Utilising our proprietary sensortechnology to detect water vapourtransmission rates, samples areclamped or attached to a diffusionchamber. Wet nitrogen is thenintroduced into the upper half of thechamber while a moisture-free carriergas flows through the lower half.
Molecules of water diffusing throughthe sample into the lower chamber areconveyed to the sensor by the carriergas.
This allows a direct measurement ofthe water vapour without usingcomplex extrapolations. Water vapourtransmission rate of the test sample isdisplayed as either g/m2/day org/100in2/day.
To achieve an absolute measure, thetechnology draws upon a fundamentalprinciple of physics.
The phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5)moisture sensor consists of a dualplatinum winding formed around aquartz tube.
The change in the resistance acrossthe windings creates a change in themeasured current. According toFaraday’s Law this is directlyproportional to the amount of moisturein the gas stream.
