What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms permeability values measured at a cold reference temperature of 0 °C into permeability inches values measured at 23 °C, enabling comparisons of material transmission rates normalized for thickness and temperature differences.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the permeability value measured at 0 °C into the input field
  • Select the source unit as Permeability (0°C)
  • Choose the target unit as Permeability inches (23°C)
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent permeability inches value

Key Features

  • Converts permeability from 0 °C reference to 23 °C normalized per inch thickness
  • Supports evaluation of gas and vapor transmission rates for various materials
  • Useful for packaging, membranes, building materials, and engineering barriers
  • Browser-based and easy to use for rapid unit conversions

Examples

  • Convert 2 Permeability (0°C) to permeability inches (23°C): result is 78.4127897814 permeability inches (23°C)
  • Convert 0.5 Permeability (0°C) to permeability inches (23°C): result is 19.60319744535 permeability inches (23°C)

Common Use Cases

  • Measuring oxygen or water-vapor transmission in films for refrigerated food packaging
  • Characterizing polymer membranes for cold-chain and low-temperature separation processes
  • Specifying vapor retarders and insulation materials for building envelopes
  • Selecting seals, gaskets, and barriers requiring standardized permeability at 23 °C

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always ensure consistent material and testing conditions when comparing values
  • Consider temperature differences as permeability depends on measurement temperature
  • Normalize by specimen thickness for meaningful comparisons using permeability inches
  • Use this conversion to aid engineering design and regulatory compliance evaluations

Limitations

  • Conversion depends on the assumption of consistent testing protocols and material conditions
  • Permeability changes with temperature, so results may vary if conditions differ
  • Thickness effects must be accounted for since permeability inches normalize by specimen thickness
