| Abstract |
The US standard test method for permeability (ASTM F739-81) involves 3h continuous contact between liquid and material. This may not truly reflect real-world conditions. A simply-modified standard test procedure was evaluated by using 2 suit materials and several common organic liquids. The splash test is an effective method; the wettability of the material is a significant factor. |
