TAPPI T 464 om-12 (R2018) is for the gravimetric determination of the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of sheet materials at 37.8 C (100 F) with an atmosphere of 90% RH on one side and a desiccant on the other.
It is generally suitable for any material up to 3 mm (1/8 in.) thick, although it may be used with caution for thicker materials if the edges of the specimen are completely sealed.
For testing at other conditions see TAPPI T 448 Water Vapor Transmission Rate of Paper and Paperboard at 23 C (73 F) and at 50% RH.
This test can be used for both creased and uncreased specimens. See TAPPI T 465 Static Creasing of Paper for WVT Tests or TAPPI UM 590 Creasing of Paperboard for Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) Testing.
