Abstract

A new method was developed to measure water permeability through a polyurethane membrane. The method developed does not require any sophisticated instrument and is very easy to manipulate. Results showed that water permeability of polyurethane membrane is thickness-dependent, water vapor concentration in the receiver compartment affects water permeability of the membrane, and pressure has no effect on it. Findings suggest that water transmission through a polyurethane membrane is a diffusion control process, no water convection is involved.
