Abstract

A process for measuring the vapor transmission rate characteristics of a test material by first measuring the vapor transmission through a test chamber and sample material and subsequently repeating the measurement with the test material adjacent the sample material. By subtracting the first measured transmission rate reciprocal from the second measured transmission rate reciprocal, a value is determined which is the reciprocal of the vapor transmission rate characteristic of the test material.
