ASTM F1307 Standard Test Method for Oxygen Delivery Rate from Dry Packs Using a Coulometric Sensor

This standard specifies a procedure for determining the steady-state transmission rate of oxygen gas into packages. More specifically, the method is applicable to packages that would normally contain a dry environment.

ASTM F1307 Test Method

This standard uses a coulometric oxygen sensor and associated equipment in an arrangement similar to that described in test method D 3985. The oxygen gas transmission rate is determined after the package is mounted in a test fixture and stabilized in the test environment.

The package is mounted in such a way that while the outside of the package is exposed to a known concentration of oxygen, the inside of the package is gently purged with a stream of nitrogen. The package may be exposed to ambient room air containing 20,8% oxygen or immersed in an atmosphere containing 100% oxygen. As the oxygen penetrates the nitrogen carrier gas through the package walls, it is transported to the coulometric detector, where it produces an electric current whose magnitude is proportional to the amount of oxygen flowing into the detector per unit time.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
