What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change permeability measurements expressed as Permeability inches (23°C) into Permeability (23°C), enabling comparison of materials' intrinsic vapor or gas transmission abilities at a steady 23 °C temperature.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the permeability value in Permeability inches (23°C).
  • Select the target unit as Permeability (23°C).
  • Click convert to obtain the equivalent permeability coefficient at 23 °C.

Key Features

  • Converts permeability values normalized by specimen thickness in inches to permeability coefficients at 23 °C.
  • Useful for building materials, packaging films, membranes, and barrier materials evaluation.
  • Standardizes permeability units for easier comparison across different applications and industries.

Examples

  • Convert 10 Permeability inches (23°C) to get 0.253999391 Permeability (23°C).
  • Convert 5 Permeability inches (23°C) resulting in 0.1269996955 Permeability (23°C).

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying and comparing vapor retarders and insulation materials for building envelopes.
  • Evaluating polymer packaging films for water vapor or gas barrier performance.
  • Selecting membranes or gasket materials in engineering to meet design or regulatory needs.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure all permeability measurements are taken at exactly 23 °C for consistency.
  • Use this conversion to standardize permeability data for design or compliance analysis.
  • Compare materials’ barrier performance independent of thickness by using permeability coefficients.

Limitations

  • Conversion only applies at the reference temperature of 23 °C; other temperatures may affect results.
  • Measurement variations and unit differences may require further standardization beyond conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to convert permeability inches (23°C) to permeability (23°C)?
Converting these units allows comparison of materials’ intrinsic barrier properties independent of specimen thickness and standardizes data across industries.

Can this conversion be used for temperatures other than 23 °C?
No, this conversion assumes measurements at 23 °C; deviations may affect permeability values and require different calculations.

What industries commonly use this permeability conversion?
Construction, polymer packaging development, membrane engineering, and electronics encapsulant selection frequently use this conversion.

Key Terminology

Permeability inches (23°C)
A measurement expressing material vapor or gas transmission as permeance times thickness in inches, standardized at 23 °C.
Permeability (23°C)
The permeability coefficient quantifying intrinsic transmission ability per unit partial-pressure difference at 23 °C.
Permeance
The rate at which a vapor or gas passes through a material, often multiplied by thickness to derive permeability inches.
