摘要
We report a new approach to measuring very low rates of water vapor transmission through high-performance barrier layers, based on detection of the water vapor by cavity ring-down infrared spectroscopy. It provides accurate and traceable measurements with a detection limit for water vapor transmission significantly below 1 x 10(-4) g/m(2)/day. The system is underpinned by dynamic reference standards of water vapor generated between 5 and 2000 nmol/mol with an estimated relative expanded uncertainty of +/- 2%. It has been compared with other methods and demonstrates good comparability. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4738775]
