This standard specifies two methods for determining the air permeability of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber under stable conditions. One method is to use a level measuring device to measure under constant pressure. Another method is to use a vertical measuring device for determination under constant volume or constant pressure. As long as the rubber is homogeneous and isotropic, the results obtained by these methods can be extrapolated to compounds of different thickness than the specimen. This method is suitable for dense rubber with a hardness not less than 35 IRHD and gaseous media such as air, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, liquefied petroleum gas and coal gas. Experimental error will arise if the gas used causes the rubber to swell significantly during the test.
