Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
ISO 14624-7 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee
SC 14, Space systems and operations.
ISO 14624 consists of the following parts, under the general title Space systems — Safety and compatibility of
materials:
⎯ Part 1: Determination of upward flammability of materials
⎯ Part 2: Determination of flammability of electrical-wire insulation and accessory materials
⎯ Part 3: Determination of offgassed products from materials and assembled articles
⎯ Part 4: Determination of upward flammability of materials in pressurized gaseous oxygen or oxygen-
enriched environments
⎯ Part 5: Determination of reactivity of system/component materials with aerospace propellants
⎯ Part 6: Determination of reactivity of processing materials with aerospace fluids
⎯ Part 7: Determination of permeability and penetration of materials to aerospace fluids

Introduction
The purpose of this part of ISO 14624 is to provide procedures to determine the permeability rate and
penetration resistance of materials exposed to aerospace fluids.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 14624-7:2006(E)

Part 7:
Determination of permeability and penetration of materials to
aerospace fluids
1 Scope
This part of ISO 14624 specifies test equipment and techniques used to identify interactions resulting from
exposure of a material to an aerospace fluid.
This part of ISO 14624 can be used to determine the reactivity of materials with aerospace fluids. It provides a
means to determine the effects of minor amounts of aerospace fluids, such as in a splash or spill, on materials
used in ground support processing operations, and in the selection of personal safety equipment.

references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
aerospace fluid
fluid that is commonly used in the fabrication, development, processing of materials and production of
aerospace and ground support equipment
EXAMPLES Cleaning agents, lubricants and solvents.
3.2
degradation
adverse physical or chemical change in a substance
3.3
reaction
chemical change in which a substance decomposes, combines with other substances, or interchanges
constituents with other substances
4 Safety precautions
4.1 Laboratory facilities
Some aerospace fluids are considered to be toxic chemicals. These chemicals shall only be exposed to room
atmosphere inside an approved laboratory hood. Separate, dedicated hoods shall be used for the oxidizers
and fuels.
4.2 Protective clothing
Personal protective clothing shall be worn by personnel when performing these tests. The minimum protection
required is fluid-compatible gloves, laboratory apron and face shield or goggles.
5 Test procedure
5.1 Inspection of sample on receipt
When received, the test material shall be accompanied by proper identification. The minimum information
required is the manufacturer, trade name, composition, specification, generic name and batch/lot number (if
known). A visual inspection shall be performed and any anomalies shall be noted. A suitable sample
identification form is shown in Table A.1.
5.2 Preparation of sample
5.2.1 General
The sample shall be tested in the intended use form (such as sheets or foams) and in the as-received
thickness.
5.2.2 Sample cleaning
Samples shall be cleaned and dried to the end-use specifications. Contamination on the surfaces of solid,
nonporous samples shall be removed by washing with deionized water and mild detergent, rinsing with
deionized water, and drying with filtered, gaseous nitrogen. Particulates on the surfaces of solid, porous
samples shall be removed with filtered, gaseous nitrogen meeting the requirements of ISO 14951-3.
5.2.3 Sample inspection
The sample shall be inspected to ensure it is at the specified worst-case thickness. Flaws and any residual
contamination shall be noted. If the flaws result from sample preparation at the test facility, new samples shall
be prepared. Samples with flaws that inordinately increase the surface area to bulk mass ratios shall not be
tested. Samples shall be weighed and individually identified.

5.3 Penetration test
5.3.1 General
This test is used to determine the possible liquid penetration of materials when exposed to aerospace fluids or
other chemicals of interest.
5.3.2 Test procedure
The test procedure shall be as follows.
a) Place an appropriately sized sample of the test material (see Figure 1) over a beaker.
b) Add the test fluid, approximately 1 ml of the specified test fluid, to the centre of the sample, taking care
not to expose the edges of the sample to the fluid, and start the timer.
c) Allow the test fluid to stand on the sample for the specified exposure time.
d) Add test fluid as required to maintain a liquid film on the test sample during the specified exposure time.
e) Carefully observe for the first fallen droplet at the bottom of the beaker, stop the timer, and note the time
of occurrence.
f) For materials used for protective garments, observe for initial wetness underneath the test sample and
note the time of occurrence.
NOTE Atmospheric condensation could occasionally form underneath a sample during a test, giving a false indication
of penetration. In such an event, verification can be made by applying a hypergol-compatible blotter that is known to
discolour when in contact with a particular aerospace fluid.
g) Carefully blot the liquid from the sample at the end of the specified exposure time.
h) Rinse the sample with running water for 60 s.
i) Allow the test sample to air dry for 24 h prior to final evaluation.

5.3.3 Report
The report shall consist of the following as a minimum (an example of a suitable form for reporting the results
of this test is shown in Table A.2):
a) name of the test material, supplier, and manufacturer;
b) test temperature, pressure, duration, and sample thickness before and after the test;
c) any penetration observed during the exposure and the elapsed time of occurrence;
d) for materials used for protective garments, any wetness observed underneath the test sample during the
exposure and the elapsed time of occurrence;
e) any reactivity observed during the exposure, such as burning, smoking, bubbling, frothing, charring,
solubility, swelling or fracture of the sample;
f) any changes in the condition of the sample after the exposure, such as colour, flexibility, rigidity, surface
condition, transparency, pitting, hardness, tackiness, friability or powder formation.
5.4 Permeation test
5.4.1 General
This test is used to determine the vapour or liquid permeation rate of a material when exposed to aerospace
fluids or other chemicals of interest as specified by the requester.
Two kinds of permeability tests may be performed: conditioned and/or unconditioned. The conditioned test is
performed on specimens that have been exposed to the test fluid prior to a permeability test in order to
simulate used materials. The unconditioned test is performed on new, unused specimens in the as-received
condition. Unless otherwise specified, the duration of the permeability test shall be 120 min.
5.4.2 Configuration requirements
The permeability tests shall be performed in accordance with ISO 6529 or ISO 6530, or other approved test
methods as appropriate. Materials used for enclosed, pressurized, protective garments shall always be tested
with the pressure on the collection side of the test cell maintained between 10 mm and 20 mm of water above
the pressure applied on the test fluid side of the cell. If conditioned test specimens are used, the conditioned
side shall be facing the test fluid side of the cell.
5.4.3 Preparation of conditioned test samples
The preparation shall be as follows.
a) Place the test specimen (Figure 1) on a flat stainless-steel or polytetrafluoroethylene base plate (s
