Test Methodology
Following ASTM F2622
Standard Test Method for Oxygen Gas Transmission Rate Through Plastic Film and
Sheeting Using Various Sensors
The oxygen gas transmission rate is determined after the sample has equilibrated in a controlled test environment. Control of carrier gas flow rate (for concentration detectors), relative humidity, temperature, and oxygen concentration in both the carrier gas and permeant (test) gas chambers is critical.
The specimen is mounted as a sealed semi-barrier between two chambers at ambient atmospheric pressure. A stream of nitrogen slowly purges one chamber and the other chamber contains oxygen. As oxygen gas permeates through the film into the nitrogen carrier gas, it is transported to the detector where it produces a signal representing the oxygen transmission rate.
