Permeation Measurement Through Polymer
Permeation testing of sheet samples to determine unique fluid/elastomer interactions.
Solubility and diffusion characteristics can be obtained and used to determine material performance for a range of applications including:
- Emissions prediction
- Ageing estimation
- Explosive decompression modelling
- Estimating two way diffusion of water vapour and gases
- Optimising venting for oil and gas pipe lines
- Calculation of pressure losses in high pressure gas containing systems.
Fluids: Gases liquids and mixtures, flammable and toxic
Test materials: Elastomers, plastics in sheet form
Temperature: Up to 300 C
Pressure: Up to 1,000 bar
Measurements:Solubility, diffusion, calculation of permeation coefficients
