ASTM D4279 Standard Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission of Shipping Containers - Fixed and Loop Methods

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D4279 standard. The ASTM D4279 standard covers the determination of water vapor transmission rates for mass transit containers as Method A for Reclosable Containers and Method B for Containers Not Designed for Resealing.

Within each procedure, details are given for the fixed and cycling methods of the test atmosphere. The test can be inspected as packaged into container or as barrel, vibration, drop, impact resistance or performance tests.

These test methods are normally used for the following purposes:

• Evaluate materials and constructions for a particular container type,
• Comparing the performance of different types of containers,
• To determine the adequacy of protection for a particular product or application, and
• Maintaining quality control.

For small shipping containers that require greater accuracy in weighing, water vapor transmission can be determined according to Test Method D895 or Test Method D1251.

Values ​​stated in inch-pound units should be considered standard. Values ​​in parentheses are mathematical conversions to non-standard SI units, provided for informational purposes only.

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 and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
