Abstract

See full text

The invention is a system for measuring the permeation of a vapor or gas through a film or membrane. The device comprises a test cell which has two chambers which are separated by a membrane through which the permeation of a particular gas is measured. To one cell is fed a test gas or vapor either alone or in a mixture with a bulk gas. To the other side of the membrane is fed a bulk gas into which the permeating test gas or vapor permeates. Attached to the second chamber of the test cell is a means for analysis of the concentration of the test gas or vapor. This device further comprises a means for separately controlling the pressure in each chamber of the test cell. The device comprises a means for combining a portion of the bulk gas with the test gas or vapor in a manner such that the concentration of the test gas or vapor in the bulk gas can be carefully controlled. This means of combining the two gases is connected to the first chamber of the test cell. This system allows for the measurement of the permeation of a particular test gas or vapor through a particular membrane at widely varied temperature and pressure conditions.
