This International Standard specifies three methods for the determination of the volume of gas diffusing through a rubber or plastics hose or length of tubing in a specified time.Method 1: For determining the permeability of the complete hose or length of tubing, excluding endfittings, to the test gas. The permeability is calculated with respect to the length of the hose or tubing.Method 2: For determining the permeability at the hose/fitting interface. This method is used whendetermining the permeability characteristics of hoses with an unpricked cover, when the gas usuallyissues from the textile reinforcement at the cut ends. The permeability is calculate
