Examples

  • 1 Permeability (23°C) converts to 39.3701731664 Permeability inches (23°C)
  • 0.5 Permeability (23°C) converts to 19.6850865832 Permeability inches (23°C)

Common Use Cases

  • Comparing barrier performance of packaging films for food and pharmaceuticals at room temperature
  • Selecting membranes for gas-separation or controlled permeation devices specified at 23°C
  • Evaluating moisture and oxygen ingress in electronics encapsulants and flexible displays
  • Specifying vapor retarders and insulation materials for building envelopes using vapor transmission ratings
  • Choosing gasket and barrier materials for engineering projects requiring standardized permeability data

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure all measurements are taken at or normalized to 23°C for accuracy
  • Confirm material thickness precisely when calculating permeability inches values
  • Use standardized testing methods for consistent permeability and permeance measurements
  • Apply the conversion rate only for steady-state permeation conditions
  • Compare materials within the same measurement context to avoid discrepancies

Limitations

  • Conversion accuracy depends on steady-state permeation and uniform temperature (23°C)
  • Differences in permeance testing methods can impact comparability of results
  • Accurate knowledge of sample thickness is critical for valid permeability inches values

Frequently Asked Questions

What does permeability (23°C) represent?
Permeability (23°C) is the intrinsic permeability coefficient of a material at 23 degrees Celsius, measuring its ability to transmit a specified gas or vapor independent of thickness.

Why convert permeability to permeability inches (23°C)?
Converting to permeability inches allows normalization of gas or vapor transmission data to a specimen thickness measured in inches, enabling direct comparison of materials using imperial units.

What industries benefit from this permeability conversion?
Industries such as packaging, building construction, electronics, and engineering rely on this conversion for material selection, barrier performance evaluation, and regulatory compliance.

Key Terminology

Permeability (23°C)
The permeability coefficient of a material measured at 23°C, indicating its intrinsic ability to transmit a specified gas or vapor independent of sample thickness.
Permeability inches (23°C)
A measure of material permeance multiplied by specimen thickness expressed in inches, standardized at 23°C to allow comparison of barrier properties normalized to thickness.
Permeance
The rate at which a gas or vapor passes through a unit area of material, commonly used as part of permeability calculations.
