Oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of packages, pouches, moulded parts, bottles, etc. (only suitable for barrier materials, see also "i")

The measurement is carried out using the coulommetric, oxygen-specific carrier gas method. Attention: This is only suitable for packages with a good oxygen barrier. Materials with high permeation coefficients, such as PP, PE or PS cups cannot be measured because the permeation is too high.

test method:	permeation
Norms:	ASTM F 1927 (2014) ASTM D 3985 (2024) DIN 53380-3 (1998-07) ISO 15105-2 (Anhang A) (2025-11)
Needed sample size:	at least one for each individual measurement, and ideally a few extra items as spares
