2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a heat insulating container made of glass or a metal such as stainless steel has been used as a container such as a thermos bottle or a warm lunch box. However, these have a problem that the shape and design of the container are limited in manufacturing. In addition, since the product is heavy, it is inconvenient to carry. Therefore, in place of the conventional glass or metal container, a synthetic resin heat insulating container that is easy to mold and lightweight has been proposed.

In this heat insulating container made of synthetic resin, an inner container and an outer container made of a synthetic resin are arranged in the outer container with a space therebetween, and the inner container is joined and integrated at respective mouth portions to have a double wall structure. The space between the inner and outer containers is vacuum-sealed to form a vacuum heat insulating layer. Since the inner container and the outer container are made of a synthetic resin and have a low gas barrier property, the surfaces of the inner container and the outer container on the vacuum insulation layer side, that is, the outer wall of the inner container and the inner wall of the outer container, are usually attached to each surface Forms a metal plating film. In addition to improving the gas barrier property, this metal plating film also has the effect of reducing heat loss due to radiation. Deterioration of the degree of vacuum in the heat insulating layer caused by gas such as water vapor, oxygen gas, and nitrogen gas entering the vacuum heat insulating layer can be prevented by forming a metal film on the inner and outer containers made of synthetic resin for a long period of time. Excellent heat retention performance can be maintained. Therefore, in such a synthetic resin container, it is necessary to measure and evaluate the gas barrier property of the plating film, and an accurate gas barrier property measuring method is required.

Conventionally, various methods have been known for measuring the amount of gas permeation in a plating film of this type, and when the amount of gas permeation is very small, for example, the plating film applied to a synthetic resin as described above. A helium permeation test is usually used to measure an extremely minute amount of gas permeation. This helium permeation test evaluates the gas barrier property of the object to be measured by setting the helium atmosphere on one side of the object to be measured and evacuating the other side to measure the amount of helium in the exhaust gas. Is the way.

However, in the case of measuring the gas barrier property by the helium permeation method with respect to the synthetic resin container coated with the above-mentioned plated film,
When the side where the synthetic resin surface on one side is exposed is the helium gas region and the metal plating film surface side on the other side is the high vacuum region, a large pressure difference is created between both sides of this synthetic resin container. To be done. This pressure may cause deformation of the container made of synthetic resin having insufficient pressure resistance or a rectangular shape, which may damage the synthetic resin container itself, or may cause a gap between the synthetic resin part and the plating film. Occurrence of stress may cause defects such as cracking and swelling in the plating film, or may reduce the adhesion of the plating film, making it impossible to perform the helium permeation test. As described above, in the past, in order to measure and evaluate the gas barrier property of the plating film of the synthetic resin container, it may be impossible to accurately measure the permeation amount of a very small amount of gas using the helium permeation test. In addition, the container that has been subjected to this gas barrier property test may cause a defective product in subsequent commercialization, and there is a disadvantage that commercialization becomes difficult.

According to the present invention, an object container such as a synthetic resin container is arranged such that its opening is in airtight contact with a lid member for sealing the test chamber, and one of the test chamber and the object container is placed. While evacuating the other with helium gas and measuring the amount of helium gas contained in the exhaust gas, the inside and outside of the DUT container are reliably partitioned and kept airtight. The helium gas introduced into either the inside or outside of the DUT container for measurement does not leak to the other vacuum exhaust side. Since the plating film surface of the DUT is pressed by the pressing jig, helium gas should be introduced to either the inside or the outside of the DUT, and the other side should be evacuated. The differential pressure generated inside and outside the container under test causes a load on the container wall and prevents damage or peeling of the plating film without deforming or destroying this container, which is accurate and reproducible. It is possible to measure and evaluate gas barrier properties.
