Automatic permeameter

CHOLET G.
In this article, the author presents an apparatus developed by the CERTTA (SEITA), for automatically measuring the air-permeability of cigarette papers, tipping papers and filter plugwraps under the conditions defined by standards NF V 37-010 and ISO 2965. The measurement range is very broad : 0 to 45,000 per. (1 per. = 1 cm3 mn-1 cm-2 for a depression of 1 kPa). The possibility of connecting a programmable computer to this apparatus makes possible a flexible and total exploitation of the results.
