Method for determining the permeation of gases into or out of plastic packages and for determination of shelf-life with respect to gas permeation

摘要

Testing of gas permeability and shelf-life characteristics of plastic packages by determining a quantity of gas permeated through the packages and thereafter determining the permeation rate and calculating the shelf-life based on permeation rate and other characteristics of the package. Preferred embodiments provide determination of shelf-life based on permeation rate of gas out of or into a package.
