PERMEATION TEST CELL

ASTM Method F-739, F-1383, EN374, EN16523-1

Pesce Lab Sales is the original participant, in conjunction with Chairman Norm Henry (click here for biography) and the ASTM Committee F23 on Protective Clothing, in developing the permeation test cell now used in ASTM Method F739, F-1383, EN374, and EN16523-1. The current cell design took approximately 3 years to perfect.

This permeation test cell is used worldwide to determine the permeation of hazardous chemicals through protective clothing. A smaller 1" cell that gives comparable results to the original, larger 2" cell is available. The smaller cell allows for use of smaller volumes of test chemical and is more convenient for testing small swatches of material.

The Certified Neoprene Standard Reference Material is currently not available. The ASTM-F739 committee is discussing what reference material or materials will be used in the future. Norm Henry is in contact with the committee and as soon as a decision is made we will post it here. Please contact us with any questions you may have.

Please don't be fooled by other manufacturer's claims. Let us help you with your permeation test cell needs: 1 and 2 inch cells, or vapor phase. Pesce Lab Sales' dedication to the production of custom laboratory glassware for research work makes the permeation test cell the most durable and widely accepted cell used today in permeation testing. Pesce Lab Sales continues to work closely with Mr. Henry to keep up to date on the latest developments in permeation test cell testing.
