WVTR testing on fiber drums using top and bottom metal lids

  • 1.  WVTR testing on fiber drums using top and bottom metal lids

    Hello all,
     Does anyone know if a WVTR  (Water Vapor Transmission Rate) test can be performed on a fiber drum with top and bottom metal lids used as a secondary package to package drug product ?

    I guess you can test the fiberboard and make the calculation for the cylinder. The metal ends should have zero transmission and hopefully the seal is perfect.
