A novel automated test method for determining the gas transmission rates of sheet membranes is described. The experimental conditions are relevant to applications involving a hydrophobic membrane barrier separating a liquid phase and a gas phase, such as an oxygenator for use in heart-lung bypass. Steady state transfer is accomplished by passing the test gas under isobaric conditions through the...
