Permeability of flexible materials used in fuel storage tanks. Part 1: A method of measurement and preliminary results
Abstract
The permeability of flexible tank fabrics to liquid fuels was determined. The method, which employs a mass spectrometer, enables the permeabilities of fabrics at 20 C and at elevated temperatures to be assessed using a test liquid of 70% iso-octane and 30% toluene. Test results were compared with results obtained using the standard gravimetric method and recommendations were made for future work.
