AQUATRAN 3/38 Operator’s Manual

Testing Film Samples

MOCON, Inc.

Revision G

6-3

If your sample is thin (less than 5 mils), you need only mask one side. Mount the sample in the test cell with

the film side facing up.

If your sample is thicker than 5 mils, mask both sides. Be sure the mask apertures are accurately aligned

and the edges around the foil aperture are tight against the film.
