17、echanical scanning 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 water vapour transmission rate WVTR amount of water vapour transmitted through unit area of test specimen per unit time under specified conditions NOTE Water vapour transmissi

18、on rate is expressed in grams per square metre 24 hours . 4 Principle A dry chamber, evacuated by a vacuum pump, is separated from a wet chamber, in which the relative humidity of a gas flow is controlled at a specified level, by a test specimen. The water vapour transmitted through the specimen is

19、collected in a sampling loop for a certain period of time. The absolute mass of the water collected is measured using a gas chromatograph. The water vapour transmission rate is then calculated from the mass of water vapour transmitted, the period of time and the transmission area of the specimen. 5

20、Test specimens 5.1 The specimens shall be representative of the material, be free from wrinkles, creases and pinholes, and have uniform thickness. Each specimen shall have a larger area than the transmission area of the cell, and shall be hermetically mounted. 5.2 Three determinations shall be made

21、using separate specimens unless otherwise specified or agreed between the interested parties. g/(m 2 24 h)ISO 15106-4:2008(E) 2 ISO 2008 All rights reserved NOTE For some products, testing more than three specimens gives a more representative result. 5.3 Unless otherwise specified, determine the thi

22、ckness of each specimen in accordance with ISO 4593 at three equally spaced points. 6 Conditioning The specimens, whose thickness has been determined in accordance with ISO 4593, shall be conditioned at the same temperature and humidity as specified for the test for a length of time appropriate to t

23、he material under test, unless otherwise agreed between the interested parties. NOTE If the gas-chromatographic apparatus includes a test cell having an automatic conditioning system, the test specimens can be placed in the cell for conditioning. 7 Apparatus 7.1 General An example of a suitable appa

24、ratus is shown in Figure 1. The apparatus includes a gas transmission cell with two chambers, a sampling loop for holding permeated water vapour, switching valves, a gas chromatograph, a humidity controller (water reservoir) and a vacuum pump. 7.2 Transmission cell The transmission cell shall consis

25、t of a wet chamber (upper side of the cell in Figure 1) and a dry chamber (lower side of the cell). The wet chamber shall have an inlet for the water vapour and the dry chamber shall be connected to a gas chromatograph via a sampling loop. The surfaces of the transmission cell in contact with the sp

26、ecimen shall be smooth and flat so that leakage does not occur. The transmission area shall be from to . The temperature of the transmission cell shall be kept within of the test temperature by means of a temperature controller. The tubing system shall be kept at a higher temperature than that of th

27、e humidity controller in order to prevent the condensation of water vapour. 7.3 Gas chromatograph The gas chromatograph shall be able to measure the quantity of water vapour in carrier gas with an accuracy of at least . 7.4 Gas flow controller The gas flow controller shall be capable of maintaining

28、the gas flow to the humidity controller at a constant rate. The recommended flow rate is between and . 7.5 Humidity controller (water reservoir) A humidity controller that contains distilled or deionized water is connected to the wet chamber. The temperature of the water in the reservoir shall be ke

29、pt within of the temperature of the transmission cell (see Table 1). Gas shall be supplied to the humidity controller via the gas flow controller. The gas is bubbled through the water in the reservoir and becomes saturated with water vapour at that temperature. 7.6 Vacuum pump The vacuum pump shall

30、be capable of producing a vacuum lower than ( ) in the dry chamber. 0,5 cm 2 100 cm 2 0,5 C 0,05 g 5 ml/min 100 ml/min 0,2 C 10 Pa 0,075 mmHgISO 15106-4:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved 3 Key 1s p e c i m e n 2 transmission cell 3 wet chamber 4 dry chamber with hydrophobic filter-paper 5 gas sup

33、n by the interested parties. 9 Calibration graph Prepare dilute solutions of water in alcohol at different levels of water concentration. Inject a known volume of each solution into the gas chromatograph using a liquid syringe and record the chromatogram for each under the same conditions. Determine

34、 the area of the peak in the chromatogram corresponding to the injected water. Produce a calibration graph by plotting water concentration against peak area and drawing a straight line through the points. NOTE In the case of (by mass) of water in methanol, a straight line can be drawn from the origi

35、n through the point representing a measurement on this solution only. 10 Procedure 10.1 Spread a hydrophobic filter-paper (4 in Figure 1) having the same size as the gas transmission area over the bottom of the dry chamber. The hydrophobic filter-paper is used to support the specimen film and to ens

36、ure smooth water vapour transmission through the whole specimen area. A hydrophobic filter-paper recommended for this purpose is Polyflon 1)filter-paper, which is made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It is recommended that the thickness of the filter be the same as the depth of the dry chamber.

37、 10.2 Apply a thin, uniform coating of vacuum grease on the flat edges of the two halves of the transmission cell, and mount a specimen over the dry chamber in such a way that no creasing or slackness occurs. 10.3 Place a rubber sealing-ring on the specimen, then set up the upper part of the cell. C

38、lamp the two chambers together with a uniform pressure so that the specimen is completely sealed in place. 10.4 Start the vacuum pump and evacuate all the air from the dry chamber. Care is necessary here, because the time taken to exhaust the cell completely will depend on the permeability of the sp

39、ecimen under test. 10.5 Introduce water vapour into the wet chamber through the humidity controller in such a way that the wet chamber is kept at constant humidity. Water vapour permeating from the wet chamber to the dry chamber through the specimen is evacuated by the vacuum pump. Table 1 Choice of

After a predeter

42、mined period of time , close valve 1 and sweep the water vapour which has accumulated in the sampling loop into the chromatographic column (9) with carrier gas (12). Using the integrator of the chromatograph, determine the area of the peak in the chromatogram corresponding to the water vapour. Deter

43、mine, from the calibration graph prepared in Clause 9, the amount of water vapour which has accumulated in the sampling loop. It is recommended that the purity of the carrier gas be greater than . 10.7 Repeat steps 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 until consecutive measurements show that a steady state has been

44、reached in which the amount of water vapour which permeates through the specimen during the period of timeis constant to within . 10.8 Either before or after the test, carry out a blank run to determine the (small) amount of water vapour present, under the steady-state conditions, in the sampling lo

45、op at the beginning of time . Do this by simultaneously shutting valve 1 (15) and valve 2 (16), thus trapping the water vapour which is flowing through the loop under the steady-state conditions, and subsequently determining the amount of gas trapped. 11 Calculation Calculate the water vapour transm

46、ission rate of each test specimen using the following equation: where WVTR is the water vapour transmission rate of the test specimen, expressed in grams per square metre 24 hours ; is the period of time during which water vapour was collected, in hours; is the blank reading (see 10.8), in grams; is

47、 the amount of water vapour which accumulated in the sampling loop, in grams; is the transmission area of the specimen, in square metres; is a conversion factor for converting the sampling loop volume to the total volume of the dry chamber. NOTE The value of depends on the particular type of apparat

48、us and is given by the manufacturer. 12 Test result Calculate the test result as the arithmetic mean of the results obtained for each test specimen, rounding to the second place of decimals if the value is less than one, and to two significant figures if the value is greater than one. 13 Precision T
