2. Description of the Related Art As a moisture permeability test method for a membrane, JIS L-1099 (cup water method) is defined in JIS standards. According to the method of the JIS standard of the cup water method, a water container (also referred to as a cup or CUP in the specification and drawings) having a predetermined shape and a predetermined amount of pure water is provided in a constant temperature and humidity chamber, and a test is performed at the upper opening thereof. After the wet film is placed, the cup is taken out of the chamber after a certain period of time (after 1 hour and 2 hours) and the weight of the cup is measured, and the amount of water vapor permeation is calculated from the change in weight, and the permeability of the film is calculated. This is a method for determining humidity. However, according to the method of the JIS standard, the sample for measurement is easily affected by the influence of temperature fluctuation and humidity, and it is difficult to transfer the sample for a short distance when taking it out of the thermo-hygrostat. Since the surface is fanned, the conventional method was a method for obtaining an approximate estimation value that almost ignored them. That is, in the process of taking out the sample from the thermo-hygrostat and weighing it, first, the measurement of the fluctuation of the ambient temperature, the fluctuation of the ambient humidity, and the measurement of the wind speed passing through the surface of the sample piece in the transfer process for weighing were ignored. In addition, it is difficult to maintain the horizontal level during the transfer process, and there is a problem that water in the cup adheres to the sample piece facing the inner surface of the cup, causing a significant error in the measured value. Generally, it is considered that a significant change in the surface temperature is unlikely to occur at 0.7 (m / s) or less, but strictly speaking, the surface temperature of the sample piece determines the amount of water vapor that can pass through. Is an important factor to do. Therefore, in the conventional method, the surface temperature of the sample piece can be changed to the ambient temperature,
There has been a problem that it is greatly affected by humidity, wind speed, adhesion of water in the cup to the sample piece, and the like. Separately, a cup-shaped lid is placed on the cup on which the moisture-permeable membrane is placed, and the humidity in the cup and lid above and below the moisture-permeable membrane is measured with a humidity sensor. Also measure the temperature of
There is also a method of calculating the moisture permeability of the moisture permeable membrane separating the two spaces from these temperature and humidity values. However, in this method, the accuracy of the humidity sensor itself is poor, the product error of the characteristics of the humidity sensor is large, and the measurement error of the moisture permeability is large due to the aging of the sensor. As another method, a moisture-permeable specimen is placed in a test room maintained at a constant temperature, humidified air is blown from the outer periphery thereof, the humidity in the test room is measured by a humidity sensor, and the humidity of the humidity sensor is measured. There is also a method of measuring the moisture permeability of the moisture permeability test specimen from the amount of change. In this method, too, it is difficult to adjust the wind speed and the error of the humidity sensor is large, so that accurate characteristics of the moisture permeable membrane cannot be obtained. Further, essentially, the moisture permeability of the membrane is strongly affected by other physical properties such as water absorption of the membrane in the initial stage. It has been found that the apparent moisture permeability changes greatly. Therefore, the measured values of the moisture permeability at the first hour and the second hour sufficiently express the actual moisture permeability characteristics of the membrane as in the JIS standard.
It could not be explained.

The present invention does not use a humidity sensor having a large error and a large variation in the characteristic quality of each sensor product as a basis for calculating the moisture permeability, and has a high accuracy (a measuring ability of about 1/10000 g). By using a meter, errors and variations were basically eliminated. In addition, since neither the water container (cup) nor the weighing scale is moved in the constant temperature / humidity chamber, the environment and conditions caused by the movement are not changed. Moreover, after the temperature of the pure water in the small container is stably brought to an equilibrium state in the constant temperature and humidity chamber, the actual measurement is started as the measurement data.
As a result, the moisture permeability based on inaccurate data, which has many other variables in the test environment, is not determined. In addition, the time and weight loss of the weighing scale are measured after the moisture permeable membrane is placed on the water container, and the moisture permeability is measured with time to obtain a time characteristic diagram of the moisture permeability. This makes it possible to measure the moisture permeability in a stable time zone after 5 hours from the transition time, and to use the moisture permeability value according to the purpose.

In this embodiment, a water container 3 containing a predetermined amount of ultrapure water 7 is placed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber 1 and a constant temperature and humidity condition is maintained for a long time at 20 ° C. and 65% RH. And The state of the room is constantly measured by temperature sensors 4 and 9, humidity sensors 5 and 10, thermometer 6 and high-precision anemometer 11, input to the measuring device 12, and R with time.
The data is stored in the AM 12f and the hard disk device 12h, and can be output to the display 12d and the printer 12g. These data are input by the measurement software operating on the CPU 12b via the A / D conversion circuit and the interface 12a, and are stored with time in the RAM 12f and the hard disk device 12h.
d, Output to the printer 12g to observe the indoor state. The water container 3 of this embodiment is provided with a drain hole 3a and a drain valve 15, so that the water level can be adjusted. The drain hole 3a is provided above the water surface in the water container 3 and below the temperature and humidity sensors 4 and 5 provided immediately below the moisture permeable membrane 8 as a sample piece. When adjusting the temperature, the temperature and humidity sensors 4 and 5 can be prevented from being stained by water in the cup and malfunctioning without removing the moisture permeable membrane 8 each time. In addition, ultrapure water 7 is used for the water held in the water container 3, and a thermometer 6 of a thermocouple sensor is set in the water to measure the water temperature. The sensor mounted on the water container 3 measures the temperature and the humidity sensors 4 and 5 provided above the water surface in the water container 3 and directly below the moisture-permeable membrane 8 as a sample piece as described above, and the water temperature. And thermometers 6 of thermocouple sensors. At this time, the reason for using the wire is to simplify the device and to take into account the operability. The wire is made of a flexible conductive wire having a low rigidity because it is elastic and extremely thin. In order to be able to replace these conductors, they are once focused above the sensor that is less likely to be contaminated, and are electrically connected to the conductors by a small connector at the same point. Further, the converging portion can be inclined forward, backward, left and right, and is adjusted to a position that is most inconvenient in the weight measurement using the conductive wire and in which the elastic periodic motion is hardly generated. For this reason, the conducting wire converges just above the center of gravity of the water container 3 at a sufficient distance that does not easily generate the elastic periodic motion, and is connected to the measuring device 12. And balancer 3
d is for correcting the displacement of the center of gravity due to the water container 3 and the attached component materials to the center of the water container. By this action, the swing of the water container around the vertical axis is suppressed, and the weight measurement error is suppressed. As the weighing scale 2 of the electronic balance, a weighing scale having an external output, which allows the total weight of the water container in which the various devices are mounted, is selected, and the weight is output to the outside of the constant temperature / humidity chamber 1 by wire to measure. The input is recorded in the device 12. Also,
External input was chosen so that various adjustments could be performed in a completely isolated environment. The reason for adjusting the water level of the water container 3 in this manner is as follows. If the volume of the space between the water surface and the membrane on the inner surface side of the water container 3 on the inner surface of the water container 3 is extremely small, the influence of the water temperature becomes remarkably high, and the sample piece is filled in the same space. The influence of water vapor or the like is dominant by the water in the water container 3, so that it is preferable that the influence can be adjusted.
On the other hand, when the volume of the space between the water surface and the membrane on the inner surface side of the water container 3 on the inner surface of the water container 3 is extremely large, the effect of the water temperature is significantly reduced, and the surrounding area of the water container 3 is further reduced. The influence of the environment is likely to be strongly reflected, and the influence of the water vapor or the like in which the sample piece fills the same space is dominated by the physical properties of the water container 3 itself or the surrounding environment.
This adjustment of the water level is a particularly important factor when measuring a sample piece with a small amount of moisture permeability, since this space tends to become saturated. After the water temperature in the water container 3 and the temperature and humidity in the constant temperature and humidity chamber 1 are stably balanced in this way, the packing 3f, the holding ring 3e, and the moisture permeable membrane 8 are mounted on the upper opening of the water container 3. The moisture permeable membrane 8 is placed in the water container 3 with the membrane clamp 3c.

As described above, the present invention has the following features. 1) Place the surrounding environment under a steady environment,
While measuring humidity and water temperature, the amount of permeated water vapor can be objectively evaluated as a weight measurement result. 2) In order to evaluate the amount of permeated water vapor by weight, it is possible to accurately and accurately measure the amount of permeated water vapor of a sample piece without depending on the characteristics of the sensor. 3) Since the amount of permeated water vapor is evaluated by weight, it is possible to accurately and accurately measure the amount of permeated water vapor of a sample piece without being affected by the aging of the sensor. 4) Place the surrounding environment under a steady environment,
Because it is possible to objectively evaluate the permeation amount of water vapor as a weight measurement result while measuring humidity, water temperature, wind speed,
Conversely, it also has a function of evaluating the characteristics of the sensor. 5) Even when the amount of moisture permeation passing through the sample piece fluctuates due to fluctuations in the amount of moisture absorption or surface temperature, it can be objectively evaluated as to what the variable factors depend on. . 6) When adjusting the temperature and humidity of the space before and after the permeation of water vapor by means of a heater or a cooling means including a refrigerant (including a Peltier element), whether an abnormality has occurred in the sensor, Although there is a problem that it is difficult to recognize whether an abnormality has occurred, there is no such a concern, and the functional state can be easily recognized by weight evaluation. 7) By adjusting the center of gravity of the water container and its accessories to be measured by the weight scale with the weight balancer at the center of the water container, the vibration around the vertical axis of the water container is small, and the measurement error due to the vibration can be reduced. 8) Long-term measurement can be performed unattended and safely. 9) Strict precision measurements such as wind speed effects and surface potential fluctuations can be added. 10) The resolution of the measurement result is high, and an extremely accurate measurement value of the moisture permeability can be obtained. 11) Since the measurable range does not depend on the performance of the sensor but practically depends on the speed of weight fluctuation, the moisture permeable membrane having a remarkably large moisture permeability or the permeability having a remarkably small moisture permeability without changing the apparatus. Precise measurements can be made on both wet films.
