9、 the water,and the assembly placed in a test chamberwith a controlled atmosphere maintained at 50 6 5%relativehumidity at 23 6 2 C(73.5 6 3.5 F).Periodic weighings ofthe assembly are made to determine the rate of water vapormovement through the specimen.4.Significance and Use4.1 One of the factors a
10、ffecting the performance providedby a cementitious treatment is how readily water vapor passesthrough it.Hence,the water vapor transmission characteristicsof treatments are important in assessing their performance inpractical use.4.2 The purpose of this test method is to obtain values ofwater vapor
11、transfer through treatments that range in perme-ability from high to low.These values are for use in design,manufacture,and marketing.4.3 Water vapor transmission is not a linear function of filmthickness,temperature or relative humidity.4.4 Values of water vapor transmission rate(WVT)andwater vapor
12、 permeance(WVP)can be used in the relativerating of treatments only if the treatments are tested under thesame closely controlled conditions of temperature and relativehumidity.5.Apparatus5.1 Assembly,consisting of a container,typically with anopening of approximately 75 mm(3 in.)by 150 mm(6 in.).Th
