Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to a method of determining the rate of vapor transmission through sheet materials wherein a defined area of test sheet material fitted over the end of a bottlelike element is exposed to standardized radioactive water under constant conditions of temperature and humidity. Radioactive water which penetrates the test sheet is, for example, absorbed on calcium chloride. After a known time interval the calcium chloride is analyzed for radioactivity by means of liquid scintillation counting. The vapor transmission rate is calculated from the amount of radioactivity present in the calcium chloride.
