本文结合 ASTM F 1307标准,对有关包装容器的透氧性测试给以简单介绍。
1、适用范围
This test method covers a procedure for the determination of the steady-state rate of transmission of oxygen gas into packages. More specifically, the method is applicable to packages that in normal use will enclose a dry environment. ( 这个测试方法探讨了一种用于确定氧气渗透进入包装物的稳定渗透速率的测试方法。更明确地说,这种测试方法适用于在通常使用时能够封起一个干燥空间的所有包装物。 )
2、测试方法概要
This test method employs a coulometric oxygen sensor and associated equipment in an arrangement similar to that described in Test Method D 3985. Oxygen gas transmission rate ( O2 GTR ) is determined after the package has been mounted on a test fixture and has equilibrated in the test environment. The package is mounted in such a way as to provide that the inside of the package is slowly purged by a stream of nitrogen while the outside of the package is exposed to a known concentration of oxygen. The package may be exposed in ambient room air which contains 20.8% oxygen, or immersed in an atmosphere of 100% oxygen. As oxygen permeates through the package walls into the nitrogen carrier gas, it is transported to the coulometric detector where it produces an electrical current, the magnitude of which is proportional to the amount of oxygen flowing into the detector per unit of time.(这种试验方法按照与测试方法D 3985 所描述的相似方式使用库仑氧气传感器及其相关设备。氧气透过率(O2 GTR)是将包装物固定在测试装置上并在测试环境中达到平衡后测定的。包装物装夹完成后能够形成如下的测试环境:包装物内侧被氮气流缓慢净化、外侧暴露在氧气浓度已知的环境中。包装物可以暴露在环境大气中,它含有20.8%的氧气,或者是浸在100%的氧气环境中。当氧气渗透通过包装物壁进入载气氮气流中,它会被载气流携带至库仑传感器处,库仑传感器探测到氧气会输出电流,电流的大小与单位时间内流入传感器的氧气总量成正比。)
3、包装物透氧性测试数据的表示方法
Oxygen gas transmission rate ( O2 GTR )——as applied to a package, is the quantity of oxygen gas passing through the surface of the package per unit of time… The SI unit of transmission rate is the mol/pkg·s. The test conditions, including temperature, oxygen partial pressure and humidity on both sides of the package, must be stated. A commonly used unit of O2 GTR is the cm3( STP )/pkg·d, where 1 cm3 ( STP ) is 44.62×10 -6 mol.(包装物的氧气透过率是单位时间内渗透通过包装物表面的氧气总量。……它的SI单位是mol/pkg·s。必须写明测试状态,包括温度、氧气分压差、以及包装物两侧的湿度。O2 GTR的常用单位是cm3( STP )/pkg·d,这里1cm3 ( STP ) 等于 44.62×10 -6 mol。)Oxygen permeance ( PO2 ' )——the ratio of the O2 GTR to the difference between the partial pressure of O2 on the two sides of the package wall.(氧气渗透量是O2 GTR 与包装物壁两侧氧气分压差的比值。)由于在一定的环境条件下,透过的氧气摩尔数与它的体积可互相转换,因此无论是用摩尔数表示还是使用气体体积表示,含义都是相同的。

4、设备的标定
The oxygen sensor used in this method is a coulometric device that yields a linear output as predicted by Faraday's Law…Experience has shown, however, that under some circumstances the sensor may become depleted or damaged to the extent that efficiency and response are impaired.(这种测试方法中所使用的氧气传感器是一种按照法拉第定律产生线性输出的库仑装置。……经验表明,在一些情况下会出现由于传感器损耗、损坏达到一定程度而削弱传感器的响应效率。)因此,测试系统需要周期标定。标定过程与试验过程相同,标定数据用来计算校正因子Q。Q将直接参与正式试验的结果计算,因此标定系数Q的准确与否直接影响到今后测试结果的准确性。
5、试验过程
5.1 包装物装夹
The method by which a package is prepared for attachment to the instrument for testing depends upon the package shape, type, and test objectives. For a majority of tests, the package may be exposed to ambient air ( 20.8% O2 ). If the package is an extremely good barrier, however, it may be helpful to increase the test gradient by immersing the package in 100% oxygen. This is accomplished by securing a plastic bag or other container around the package and flooding the bag with oxygen.(将包装物装夹到设备上的方法取决于包装物的外形、类型以及测试对象。对于多数试验,包装物可以暴露在环境大气中(20.8%氧气)。但是如果包装物的阻隔性很好,可以把包装物浸入100%的氧气环境中来增加测试浓度梯度,这对试验更加有利。这可以通过用一个塑料袋或是其它容器罩在包装物外面并向其中注入氧气来实现。)图1是标准中给出的包装物装夹示意图,需要注意在容器封口处、以及各进气管、出气管的密封处理。

5.2 测试过程
Preparation of apparatus… The system can then be dried by slowly purging overnight using dry carrier gas ( sensor bypass )… Attachment of the package… Purging the system. Start the nitrogen gas flow and purge air from the package using a flow rate of 50 to 60 mL/min. Maintain this rate for a period determined by the volume of the package… Reduce the rate to a value between 5 and 15 mL/min. Maintain this rate for the next 30 min ( sensor bypassed )… Divert the flow of nitrogen carrier gas to the sensor… When consecutive sensor readings begin to yield the same value, the operator should record this value and label it E e ( package )… Put the sensor in bypass once again. Remove the package from the package fittings and install a stainless steel “perfect package” loop between the carrier gas fittings. After 10 to 15min, divert the flow of carrier gas to the sensor. Maintain this configuration for 30min, or until the sensor output current has descended to a constant low value. Note this value and record as E o ( package )… Place the instrument in a standby condition.(准备设备…然后整夜用干燥载气流缓慢干燥系统(绕开传感器)。…完成包装物附加装置的装夹。…吹洗整个系统。开启50~60mL/min的氮气流净化包装物内的空气,净化时间取决于包装物的体积。…降低氮气流速至5~15mL/min并保持30min(绕开传感器)。…将氮气流引入传感器。…当传感器的连续输出值开始稳定不变时,操作者就可以记下这个值了,这个值就是E e(包装物)。…再次绕开传感器。移走包装物,并在载气装置间插入一个不锈钢材质的“高阻隔包装物”回路。10~15min后,再将载气流引入传感器。保持这种配置30min,或是当传感器的输出电流减小并稳定在一个较低的值上后,就可以把这个值作为Eo(包装物)记录下来。…将设备置于备用状态。)在整个试验过程中,载气流的流速是否合适是至关重要的,必须按照标准精确调节。
