| Abstract |
A comparison of techniques used in the measurement of breakthrough time and permeation rate of chemicals through protective clothing materials resulted in the modification of a standardised test method and the development of a standard test cell. Using the test method, good inter-laboratory agreement was achieved for measurements of breakthrough times of chemical/material combinations in the absence of significant interactions (such as swelling or distortion of the membrane). The agreement in the amount permeating through the material was not as good, but still sufficient to assign materials into categories based on order of magnitude differences. The standard test method is described in detail in the appendix. |
