Overview

The C180M Air Permeability Tester uses the differential pressure method for precise measurement of air permeability of cigarette paper, filter plug wrap, filter joining paper and materials with oriented permeable zones. It delivers fully automatic operation, pneumatic clamping and an industrial touch-screen interface for efficient laboratory or production-line testing.

Product Features

• Fully automatic & high-precision measurement: Automatic measurement workflow with imported pressure regulator for stable pressure; automatic sample feeding with configurable measurement times and intervals; single-point measurement time for identical samples typically under 10 seconds to enhance throughput.
• Safe design & automatic clamping: Pneumatic sample clamping for consistent sealing and repeatability; anti-clamp safety design; vertical structure with LED observation light for easy sample inspection.
• Intelligent control & reliable performance: 12.1" industrial touch screen with tiled UI; Automatic and Manual modes; dual-unit display (CU and mL/min); automatic statistics (Max, Min, Ave, SD, CV); automatic data storage with power-off memory; built-in micro-printer and LAN port; core components from established manufacturers; multi-level user management and audit tracking; optional software functions.

Test Principle

Under a defined pressure the sample is clamped at the measurement position and the total air flow passing through the sample surface is measured.
