Standard Test Method for Oxygen Gas Transmission Rate Through Plastic Film and Sheeting Using Various Sensors

Importancia y uso:

5.1 The O₂GTR is an important determinant of the packaging protection afforded by barrier materials. It is not, however, the sole determinant, and additional tests, based on experience, must be used to correlate packaging performance with O₂GTR. It is suitable as a referee method of testing, provided that the purchaser and the seller have agreed on sampling procedures, standardization procedures, test conditions, and acceptance criteria.

5.2 Testing which has compared select instruments with other sensors to the instruments specifically described in Test Method D3985 is shown in Section 16, Precision and Bias, of this method.

5.3 The Precision and Bias section of this method shows results using several instruments with non-coulometric and coulometric sensors.
