What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you translate permeability values measured at a reference temperature of 23 °C into permeability inches referenced at 0 °C. It facilitates comparison and compatibility between different measurement standards and testing conditions.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the permeability value measured at 23°C into the input field.
  • Select or confirm the original unit as permeability (23°C).
  • Choose the target unit as permeability inches (0°C).
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in permeability inches at 0°C.
  • Use the results to interpret or document test outcomes consistent with your pressure reference standards.

Key Features

  • Converts permeability coefficients from 23°C reference to inches-based values at 0°C.
  • Supports testing standards in packaging, building air leakage, and HVAC systems.
  • Browser-based unit conversion for permeability measurements with pressure references.
  • Allows easy comparison of barrier properties across different temperature and pressure references.

Examples

  • Convert 2 permeability (23°C) which equals 79.0692393444 permeability inches (0°C).
  • Convert 0.5 permeability (23°C) which equals 19.7673098361 permeability inches (0°C).

Common Use Cases

  • Comparing barrier performance of packaging films against gases at room temperature and standard pressure references.
  • Relating laboratory permeability data to building air-leakage assessments using blower-door tests.
  • Evaluating HVAC duct leakage flow rates where pressure differences are expressed in inches of water column at 0°C.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure measurement conditions align with the reference temperatures of 23°C and 0°C before converting.
  • Consider gas type, humidity, and sample thickness effects when comparing converted permeability values.
  • Use this conversion to harmonize data across various testing protocols but apply temperature corrections if conditions differ.

Limitations

  • Assumes standard reference temperatures of 23°C and 0°C; deviations may require adjustment.
  • Does not account for variations in gas composition, humidity, or thickness beyond conversion factor.
  • Conversion applies only to specific permeability units and does not replace comprehensive modeling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert permeability from 23°C to units referenced at 0°C?
Converting ensures compatibility with testing protocols that use pressure references based on inches of water column at 0°C, allowing consistent interpretation across different measurement conditions.

Can I use this conversion for all permeability measurements?
No, the conversion is valid for permeability units defined at 23°C converted to permeability inches at 0°C and assumes standard testing conditions.

Does this converter adjust for temperature or humidity variations?
No, this tool does not apply corrections for temperature or humidity differences beyond the defined standard references.

Key Terminology

Permeability (23°C)
The permeability coefficient of a material measured at 23°C quantifying its ability to transmit gas or vapor per unit partial-pressure difference.
Permeability inches (0°C)
A permeability measure referencing pressure in inches of water column at 0°C, indicating fluid flow through a material per unit area and pressure difference.
