Method and device for measuring permeation by mass spectrometry
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for measuring permeation of gases through a material comprising the following steps: a) Supplying gas to a permeation enclosure (10) during which a first chamber (11) is supplied with a target gas flow comprising at least one target gas corresponding to a gas for which one tries to determine the permeation through the material (M), and simultaneous supplying gas to a measurement enclosure (20) with at least one calibrated flow comprising at least one reference gas different from the target gas; b) during the gas supply step, measuring in the measurement enclosure (20) the reference gas present at instant (t) and the target gas present at the same instant (t) after having crossed the material (M) by permeation; c) calculating a correction factor at instant (t) by comparing the measurement of the reference gas present at instant (t) with the reference gas supply calibrated flow; and d) determining the permeation of the material (M) to said gas, from the measurement of the target gas present at instant (t) corrected with the correction factor at instant (t).
