ASTM F2622
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers a procedure for determination of the steady-state rate of transmission of oxygen gas through plastics in the form of film, sheeting, laminates, coextrusions, or plastic-coated papers or fabrics. It provides for the determination of (1) oxygen gas transmission rate (O 2 GTR), (2) the permeance of the film to oxygen gas (PO 2 ), and (3) oxygen permeability coefficient (P'O 2 ) in the case of homogeneous materials.
1.2 This test method does not purport to be the only method for measurement of O 2 GTR. There may be other methods of O 2 GTR determination that use other oxygen sensors and procedures.
1.3 This test method has intentionally been prepared to allow for the use of various sensors, devices, and procedures. The precision and bias of each design needs to be individually established to determine the applicability of that instrument or method to meet the needs of the user.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
