History
Pesce Lab Sales is the original participant, in conjunction with Chairman Norm Henry 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.
About
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.
New Product
PTFE PERMEATION TEST CELL CHALLENGE CHAMBER The Pesce Liquid Permeation Test Cell, used in accordance with ASTM Test Method F739, is now available with a PTFE challenge chamber. Customer inquiries indicated a need for the test cells to be more versatile in order to be used with more corrosive chemicals. In response to that need, Pesce Lab Sales designed a PTFE challenge chamber. It can be used with either a glass or stainless steel sampling chamber to create a truly versatile test cell.

The Permeation Test Cell is used to measure both the breakthrough time and permeation rate of a liquid or gas through a barrier material.
OUR PRODUCTS INCLUDE
Permeation Test Cell for Liquid Testing
The cell is used to measure both the breakthrough time and permeation rate of a liquid through a barrier material.
Test Cell for vapor phase / gas testing
The cell is used to measure both the breakthrough time and permeation rate of a gas through a barrier material.
Stainless Steel Test Cell for Caustic Chemical Testing
The stainless steel permeation test cells can be used to test Hydrofluoric Acid and other chemicals that can potentially etch glass. Strong acids such as concentrated sulfuric or nitric acid can also be used in stainless steel cells. Chlorosilanes can also be tested with the stainless steel cells since they potentially release acid. The only caution is to check on the MSDS of chemicals for reactivity with metals.
PTFE Challenge Chamber for More Corrosive Chemicals Testing
Customer inquiries indicated a need for the test cells to be more versatile in order to be used with more corrosive chemicals. In response to that need, Pesce Lab Sales designed a PTFE challenge chamber. It can be used with either a glass or stainless steel sampling chamber to create a truly versatile test cell. PTFE is nonreactive and can withstand exposure to reactive or corrosive chemicals. The PTFE challenge chamber allows a wider range of chemicals to be tested without concern about the chemical effects on the traditional glass or stainless steel challenge chambers.
Additional Product Line: Penetration Test Apparatus
Apparatus incorporates standard test method for resistance of protective clothing materials to penetration by liquids or blood-borne pathogens. Penetration Test Apparatus conforms to applicable ASTM Standards, Methods F-903, F1670, F1671.
Pride in workmanship characterizes Pesce Lab Sales, Inc. Each item is precisely crafted, properly annealed, and then carefully vacuum tested for pinhole leaks. This meticulous attention to minute detail ensures a perfect piece of glassware.
Pesce Lab Sales, working closely with ASTM Committee F23, was intensively involved in the development of the permeation test cell. We consulted with the committee and developed the vapor phase permeation test cell as well as the 1" version of the 2" liquid test cell.
