New system to investigate the oxygen impermeability of plastic pipes

As underfloor heating systems are to be incorporated in the concrete plates of the buildings, these should have the same service life as the building itself. The plastic pipes used in this system should also have the same service life. Such a plastic pipe must prevent oxygen penetration and guarantee the service life of the pipes. Many companies are currently trying to develop pipes that are impenetrable to oxygen. The requirements and their evaluation have increased in importance.
This is why IPT has developed a device that is able to test the oxygen permeability or impermeability of plastic pipes as a quality criterion in terms of ISO 17455 and DIN 4726.
