3、 to Test Method F739, ISO 6529, andPractice D6978 standards by use of a computer program,referred to as “Permeation Calculator” (DHHS (NIOSH) Pub-lication No. 2007 143c).2,31.2 The practice is applicable to both open loop and closedloop permeation tests. The closed loop test includes continuoussampl
4、ing and discrete sampling. The discrete sampling in-cludes tests when sample volume is replaced and also whensample volume is not replaced. For an open loop permeationtest, the computer program also allows permeation data fileswith variable sampling flow rate. Refer to Test Method F739for more detai
5、ls about the different types of the permeationtesting systems.1.3 This practice is applicable to the most typical perme-ation behavior, that is, Type A, where the permeation ratestabilizes at a “steady-state” value. It does not apply to theother types of permeation behaviors. Refer to Test MethodF73
6、9 for more details about the various permeation behaviors.1.4 This practice is not applicable to Test Method F1383because the permeation behavior is different under conditionsof intermittent contact than under conditions of continuouscontact.1.5 This practice does not address the procedure of perme-

Summary of Practice4.1 The computer program used in this practice calculatesall the permeation parameters listed in Te
18、st Method F739,ISO 6529, and Practice D6978, including standardized break-through time, normalized breakthrough detection time, break-through detection time, minimum breakthrough detection time(if applicable), steady-state permeation rate, cumulative per-meation at a given elapsed time, elapsed time
19、 at a givencumulative permeation, average permeation rate, and maxi-mum permeation rate if it is an open loop permeation test.4.2 The operation of the computer program involves thefollowing steps:4.2.1 Data Input to the Computer ProgramInput a per-meation testing data file that contains data points
20、in time versusconcentration. The data must be in a spreadsheet software filewith a minimum of seven data points before the breakthroughpoint and the total number of data points can not exceed 5000.The number of significant figures used for the input data willaffect the number of significant figures

Refer to Appendix X1 for details in data filerequirements.4.2.2 AnalysisAfter importing the data file and enteringrequired information, the program determines the permeationparameters based on a series of strate
22、gies and approaches.4.2.3 OutputUpon completion, the program displays allthe permeation parameters together with relevant informationand the permeation curve in a spreadsheet software or a textfile-formatted report.5. Significance and Use5.1 Data analysis for chemical protective clothing perme-ation
23、 testing involves a number of equations and experimentalfactors. Possible calculation errors are critical issues whendetermining permeation parameters. Because the calculationsof some of the permeation parameters are mathematicallycomplex, this computer program will be useful.5.2 This practice is to
24、 help researchers and industrial hy-gienists avoid labor intensive hand calculations of the perme-ation parameters. From a standardization point of view, thispractice prevents variability or inconsistency caused by differ-ent experimenters thus ensuring identical permeation param-eters or results wi
25、ll be obtained from a given permeation testdata file.5.3 Protective clothing manufacturers worldwide will ben-efit since they must inform customers about the permeationparameters of their products in a consistent manner.
