    1 Test principle The principle of differential pressure method refers to the test method of testing the gas permeability of the sample by maintaining a certain pressure difference on both sides of the sample during the test process, and by testing the pressure change on the low-pressure side
    .

    The test chamber of the equipment is divided into upper and lower chambers by the clamped sample.
    The upper chamber is a high-pressure chamber, which is filled with a certain pressure of test gas, and the lower chamber is a low-pressure chamber.
    Through the penetration of the sample into the low-pressure chamber, the gas permeation rate of the sample is obtained by monitoring the change of the pressure in the low-pressure chamber with time
