Patent number: 10571382Abstract: A water vapor concentration in a test gas in a first space of a measurement space in which a sample is disposed is adjusted, and a water vapor concentration m a earlier gas in a second space separated from the first space by the sample is measured by a measurement unit. When the water vapor concentration in the test gas is changed, a shift B in charge of the water vapor concentration in the carrier gas from the change of the water vapor concentration in the test gas is calculated. The calculated shift B in the change of the water vapor concentration in the carrier gas corresponds to ease of moisture accumulation in the sample. Thus, it is possible to analyze not only the amount of moisture permeating the sample but also the ease of moisture accumulation, so that characteristics of the sample can be widely analyzed.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: NITTO DENKO CORPORATIONInventors: Atsushi Kishi, Yasutaka Ishihara, Satoru Mamiya

Publication number: 20180088015Abstract: A water vapor concentration in a test gas in a measurement chamber in which a sample is disposed is adjusted, and a moisture amount of the sample in the measurement chamber is measured by a measurement unit. When the water vapor concentration in the test gas in the measurement chamber is changed, a shift B in change of the moisture amount of the sample measured by the measurement unit, from change of the water vapor concentration in the test gas, is calculated. The calculated shift B in the change of the moisture amount of the sample corresponds to an adsorption-desorption rate of the sample. Thus, it is possible to analyze not only the moisture amount of the sample but also the adsorption-desorption rate of the sample, so that characteristics of the sample can be widely analyzed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2017Publication date: March 29, 2018Applicant: NITTO DENKO CORPORATIONInventors: Atsushi Kishi, Yasutaka Ishihara, Satoru Mamiya
