8、est Method for Determination of Oxygen Gas Trans-mission Rate,Permeability and Permeance at ControlledRelative Humidity Through Barrier Materials Using aCoulometric Detector3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 oxygen permeability coeffcient(PO2)the product ofthe permeance and the thickness of film.The
9、 permeability ismeaningful only for homogeneous materials,in which case it isa property characteristic of the bulk material.This quantityshould not be used,unless the relationship between thicknessand permeance has been verified on tests using several differentthicknesses of the material.The SI unit
10、 of oxygen permeabilityis the mol/(msPa).The test conditions(see 3.1.3)must bestated.3.1.2 oxygen permeance(PO2)the ratio of the OTR to thedifference between the partial pressure of O2on the two sidesof the film.The SI unit of permeance is the mol/(m2sPa).Thetest conditions(see 5.1)must be stated.3.
11、1.3 oxygen transmission rate(OTR)the quantity ofoxygen gas passing through a unit area of the parallel surfacesof a plastic film per unit time under the conditions of test.TheSI unit of transmission rate is the mol/(m2s).The testconditions,including temperature and oxygen partial pressureon both sid
12、es of the film must be stated.3.1.3.1 A commonly used unit of OTR is the cm3(STP)/(m2d)at one atmosphere pressure difference where 1 cm3(STP)is 44.62 mol,1 atm is 0.1013 MPa,and one day is86.4 103s.The OTR in SI units is obtained by multiplying thevalue in inch-pound units by 5.163 1010.4.Summary of
13、 Test Method4.1 The oxygen gas transmission rate is determined after thesample has equilibrated in a dry test environment.In this1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F02 on PrimaryBarrier Packaging and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F02.10 onPermeation.Current
