Part 5:
Gurley method
1 Scope
This part of ISO 5636 specifies the Gurley method for determining the air permeance of paper and board
using an air resistance tester, the Gurley apparatus.
It is applicable to papers and boards which have air permeances between 0,1 µm/(Pa⋅s) and 100 µm/
(Pa⋅s) when tested with the Gurley apparatus.
It is unsuitable for rough-surfaced materials, which cannot be securely clamped to avoid leakage.
This part of ISO 5636 may also be used to determine the air resistance of paper and board.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 48, Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of hardness (hardness between 10 IRHD
and 100 IRHD)
ISO 186, Paper and board — Sampling to determine average quality
ISO 187, Paper, board and pulps — Standard atmosphere for conditioning and testing and procedure for
monitoring the atmosphere and conditioning of samples
ISO 385, Laboratory glassware — Burettes
ISO 3104, Petroleum products — Transparent and opaque liquids — Determination of kinematic viscosity
and calculation of dynamic viscosity
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
air permeance
mean air flow rate through unit area under unit pressure difference in unit time, under specified conditions
2
Note 1 to entry: Air permeance is expressed in micrometres per pascal second [1 ml/(m ⋅Pa⋅s) = 1 μm/(Pa⋅s)].
Note 2 to entry: This property is called air permeance, and not air permeability, because it is reported as a sheet
property and is not standardized with respect to thickness to give a material property per unit thickness.
© ISO 2013 – All rights reserved 1
---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
ISO 5636-5:2013(E)
3.2
air resistance
time required for a specific volume of air under unit pressure to pass through unit area
Note 1 to entry: Air resistance is expressed in seconds per 100 millilitres [s/(100 ml)].
4 Principle
The air is compressed by the weight of a vertical cylinder floating in a liquid. A test piece is in contact
with the compressed air and the cylinder falls steadily as air passes through the test piece. The time for
a given volume of air to pass through the test piece, i.e. the air resistance is measured and from this the
air permeance is calculated.
5 Apparatus and materials
5.1 Gurley apparatus, see Figure 1, that consists of an outer cylinder (see 5.1.3) partly filled with
sealing fluid (see 5.2) and an inner cylinder (see 5.1.4) having an open top, sliding freely in the outer
cylinder. Air pressure, provided by the weight of the inner cylinder, is applied to the test piece held
between clamping plates (see 5.1.1) in a circular orifice.
5.1.1 Clamping plates are at the base of the apparatus, and a central feed tube directs the pressurized
air to the clamping plates. Some versions of this apparatus use a hand-tightened capstan (jackscrew)
arrangement to tighten the clamping plates together, others are equipped with a dead weight of 901 g
loading a lever arm and others use a pneumatic system. The recommended clamping force is (180 ± 30) N.
This mechanism provides a technique to give uniform loading, and thus minimize the operator influence
on the test. Controlled clamping force is the preferred method of clamping the test piece.
5.1.2 Rubber gasket attached to the clamping plate on the side exposed to the air pressure prevents
leakage of air between the surface of the paper and the clamping plate. The gasket consists of a thin, elastic,
oil-resistant, non-oxidizing material, having a smooth surface, a thickness of 0,7 mm to 1,0 mm and a hardness
of 50 IRHD (International Rubber Hardness Degrees) in accordance with ISO 48. The inside diameter of
the gasket is about 28,6 mm and the outside diameter is about 34,9 mm. The aperture of the gasket is
concentrically aligned with the aperture in the clamping plates. To align and protect the gasket in use, it is
cemented to a groove machined in the upper clamping plate. The groove is concentric with the aperture
in the opposing plate, has an internal diameter of (28,50 ± 0,15) mm and a depth of (0,45 ± 0,05) mm. Its
outside diameter is (35,2 ± 0,1) mm for convenience in inserting and attaching the gasket. The gasket, when
mounted inside the concentric groove, defines the measurement area and shall have an inside diameter of
2
(28,6 ± 0,1) mm (642 mm area). The gasket should be changed at regular intervals.
5.1.3 Outer cylinder with a height of 254 mm and an internal diameter of 82,6 mm. The inner surface
has three or four bars, not less than 190 mm and not greater than 245,5 mm in length and 2,4 mm square
or 2,4 mm diameter, spaced equidistantly to serve as guides for the inner cylinder.
5.1.4 Inner cylinder, graduated in units of 50 ml and with a full-scale reading of at least 300 ml. It
may have 25 ml graduations between the 0 ml and 100 ml markings. The scale markings represent true
volumes enclosed within the inner cylinder and shall be accurate to within 3%. The exact volume of the
inner cylinder may be checked by means of the procedure given in Annex A. The cylinder has a height of
(254,0 ± 0,5) mm, an external diameter of (76,2 ± 0,5) mm and an internal diameter about 74 mm such
that the mass of the cylinder assembly is (567,0 ± 0,5) g.
5.1.5 Volumes referred to are nominal volumes and should, in principle be increased by the volume of
fluid displaced by the walls of the inner cylinder during the test. In practice, since this

Paper and board — Determination of air permeance
(medium range) —
Part 5:
Gurley method
1 Scope
This part of ISO 5636 specifies the Gurley method for determining the air permeance of paper and board
using an air resistance tester, the Gurley apparatus.
It is applicable to papers and boards which have air permeances between 0,1 µm/(Pa⋅s) and 100 µm/
(Pa⋅s) when tested with the Gurley apparatus.
It is unsuitable for rough-surfaced materials, which cannot be securely clamped to avoid leakage.
This part of ISO 5636 may also be used to determine the air resistance of paper and board.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 48, Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of hardness (hardness between 10 IRHD
and 100 IRHD)
ISO 186, Paper and board — Sampling to determine average quality
ISO 187, Paper, board and pulps — Standard atmosphere for conditioning and testing and procedure for
monitoring the atmosphere and conditioning of samples

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
air permeance
mean air flow rate through unit area under unit pressure difference in unit time, under specified conditions
2
Note 1 to entry: Air permeance is expressed in micrometres per pascal second [1 ml/(m ⋅Pa⋅s) = 1 μm/(Pa⋅s)].
Note 2 to entry: This property is called air permeance, and not air permeability, because it is reported as a sheet
property and is not standardized with respect to thickness to give a material property per unit thickness.

SIST ISO 5636-5:2014
ISO 5636-5:2013(E)
3.2
air resistance
time required for a specific volume of air under unit pressure to pass through unit area
Note 1 to entry: Air resistance is expressed in seconds per 100 millilitres [s/(100 ml)].
4 Principle
The air is compressed by the weight of a vertical cylinder floating in a liquid. A test piece is in contact
with the compressed air and the cylinder falls steadily as air passes through the test piece. The time for
a given volume of air to pass through the test piece, i.e. the air resistance is measured and from this the
air permeance is calculated.
5 Apparatus and materials
5.1 Gurley apparatus, see Figure 1, that consists of an outer cylinder (see 5.1.3) partly filled with
sealing fluid (see 5.2) and an inner cylinder (see 5.1.4) having an open top, sliding freely in the outer
cylinder. Air pressure, provided by the weight of the inner cylinder, is applied to the test piece held
between clamping plates (see 5.1.1) in a circular orifice.
5.1.1 Clamping plates are at the base of the apparatus, and a central feed tube directs the pressurized
air to the clamping plates. Some versions of this apparatus use a hand-tightened capstan (jackscrew)
arrangement to tighten the clamping plates together, others are equipped with a dead weight of 901 g
loading a lever arm and others use a pneumatic system. The recommended clamping force is (180 ± 30) N.
This mechanism provides a technique to give uniform loading, and thus minimize the operator influence
on the test. Controlled clamping force is the preferred method of clamping the test piece.
5.1.2 Rubber gasket attached to the clamping plate on the side exposed to the air pressure prevents
leakage of air between the surface of the paper and the clamping plate. The gasket consists of a thin, elastic,
oil-resistant, non-oxidizing material, having a smooth surface, a thickness of 0,7 mm to 1,0 mm and a hardness
of 50 IRHD (International Rubber Hardness Degrees) in accordance with ISO 48. The inside diameter of
the gasket is about 28,6 mm and the outside diameter is about 34,9 mm. The aperture of the gasket is
concentrically aligned with the aperture in the clamping plates. To align and protect the gasket in use, it is
cemented to a groove machined in the upper clamping plate. The groove is concentric with the aperture
in the opposing plate, has an internal diameter of (28,50 ± 0,15) mm and a depth of (0,45 ± 0,05) mm. Its
outside diameter is (35,2 ± 0,1) mm for convenience in inserting and attaching the gasket. The gasket, when
mounted inside the concentric groove, defines the measurement area and shall have an inside diameter of
2
(28,6 ± 0,1) mm (642 mm area). The gasket should be changed at regular intervals.
5.1.3 Outer cylinder with a height of 254 mm and an internal diameter of 82,6 mm. The inner surface
has three or four bars, not less than 190 mm and not greater than 245,5 mm in length and 2,4 mm square
or 2,4 mm diameter, spaced equidistantly to serve as guides for the inner cylinder.
5.1.4 Inner cylinder, graduated in units of 50 ml and with a full-scale reading of at least 300 ml. It
may have 25 ml graduations between the 0 ml and 100 ml markings. The scale markings represent true
volumes enclosed within the inner cylinder and shall be accurate to within 3%. The exact volume of the
inner cylinder may be checked by means of the procedure given in Annex A. The cylinder has a height of
(254,0 ± 0,5)

Méthode Gurley
1 Domaine d’application
La présente partie de l’ISO 5636 spécifie la méthode Gurley pour la détermination de la perméabilité à
l’air des papiers et cartons au moyen d’un appareil d’essai de résistance à l’air, l’appareil Gurley.
La méthode est applicable aux papiers et cartons dont la perméabilité à l’air est comprise entre 0,1 µm/
(Pa·s) et 100 µm/(Pa·s) lors d’un essai au moyen d’un appareil Gurley.
Elle ne convient pas pour les papiers et cartons à surface rugueuse, qu’il est impossible de fixer
correctement pour éviter les fuites.
La présente partie de l’ISO 5636 peut également être utilisée pour déterminer la résistance à l’air des
papiers et cartons.

3 Termes et définitions
Pour les besoins du présent document, les termes et définitions suivants s’appliquent.
3.1
perméabilité à l’air
débit d’air moyen qui traverse une unité de surface sous une unité de différence de pression en une unité
de temps, dans des conditions spécifiées
2
Note 1 à l’article: La perméabilité à l’air est exprimée en micromètres par pascal seconde [1 ml/(m ⋅Pa·s) = 1 μm/
(Pa·s)].
© ISO 2013 – Tous droits réservés 1
---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
ISO 5636-5:2013(F)
Note 2 à l’article: Cette propriété est appelée «perméabilité à l’air» et non «perméance à l’air» car elle est
caractéristique de la feuille considérée et n’est pas normalisée en fonction de l’épaisseur, ce qui donnerait une
propriété du matériau par épaisseur unitaire.
3.2
résistance à l’air
temps nécessaire à un volume d’air spécifique sous une unité de pression pour traverser une unité de
surface
Note 1 à l’article: La résistance à l’air est exprimée en secondes par 100 millilitres [s/(100 ml)].
4 Principe
De l’air est comprimé par la masse d’un cylindre vertical flottant sur un liquide. Une éprouvette est
en contact avec l’air ainsi comprimé et le cylindre descend régulièrement à mesure que l’air traverse
l’éprouvette. Le temps pour qu’un volume donné d’air traverse l’éprouvette est mesuré, c’est-à-dire que
la résistance à l’air est mesurée, et la perméabilité à l’air est calculée.
5 Appareillage et matériel d’essai
5.1 Appareil Gurley, voir Figure 1, comprenant un cylindre extérieur (voir 5.1.3), rempli en partie
d’un fluide assurant l’étanchéité (voir 5.2), et un cylindre intérieur (voir 5.1.4), dont le haut est ouvert, et
qui coulisse librement dans le cylindre extérieur. La pression de l’air produite par la masse du cylindre
intérieur est appliquée contre l’éprouvette, maintenue entre deux plaques de serrage (voir 5.1.1) dans un
orifice circulaire.
5.1.1 Plaques de serrage, constituant la base de l’appareil, et tube central d’alimentation dirigeant
l’air sous pression vers les plaques de serrage. Certains modèles de cet appareil sont munis d’un système
de treuil manuel (vérin à vis) pour resserrer les plaques l’une contre l’autre, d’autres modèles sont
équipés d’un contrepoids de 901 g agissant sur un levier, et d’autres modèles encore sont munis d’un
système pneumatique. La force de serrage recommandée est de (180 ± 30) N. Ce mécanisme permet une
répartition uniforme de la charge, réduisant ainsi l’influence de l’opérateur sur l’essai. Il est préférable
d’appliquer une force de serrage contrôlée pour maintenir l’éprouvette.
5.1.2 Joint en caoutchouc, fixé sur la plaque de serrage, du côté soumis à la pression de l’air, pour
empêcher les fuites d’air entre la surface du papier et la plaque de serrage. Le joint est constitué d’un
matériau inoxydable, mince, élastique, résistant à l’huile, à surface lisse, d’épaisseur comprise entre
0,7 mm et 1,0 mm et de dureté 50 DIDC (Degré International de Dureté du Caoutchouc) conformément à
l’ISO 48. Le diamètre intérieur du joint est de 28,6 mm environ, son diamètre extérieur de 34,9 mm environ.
L’ouverture du joint est centrée avec précision sur l’ouverture des plaques de serrage. Afin d’assurer
l’alignement et la protection du joint en utilisation, il est scellé dans un logement usiné à la surface de
la plaque de serrage supérieure. Ce logement et l’ouverture de la plaque opposée sont concentriques.
Le diamètre intérieur du logement est de (28,50 ± 0,15) mm, et sa profondeur de (0,45 ± 0,05) mm. Son
diamètre extérieur est de (35,2 ± 0,1) mm, pour permettre l’insertion et la fixation du joint. Le joint, lorsqu’il
est fixé à l’intérieur du logement concentrique, délimite la surface de mesure et son diamètre intérieur
2
doit être de (28,6 ± 0,1) mm (642 mm de superficie). Il convient de changer le joint régulièrement.
5.1.3 Cylindre extérieur, ayant une hauteur de 254 mm et un diamètre intérieur de 82,6 mm. La
surface intérieure présente trois ou quatre rainures, de longueur comprise entre 190 mm et 245,5 mm,
de section carrée de 2,4 mm d’arête ou cylindrique de 2,4 mm de diamètre, les rainures étant également
réparties pour servir de guides au cylindre intérieur.
5.1.4 Cylindre intérieur, gradué de 50 ml en 50 ml, comportant une lecture à pleine échelle jusqu’à
au moins 300 ml. Il peut être gradué de 25 ml en 25 ml entre les repères de 0 ml à 100 ml. Les repères
représentent les volumes véritables du cylindre intérieur et doivent être exacts à 3 % près. Le volume exact
du cylindre intérieur peut être vérifié au moyen du mode opératoire indiqué à l’Annexe A. Sa hauteur est
2 © ISO 2013 – Tous droits réservés
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 5636-5:2013(F)
de (254,0 ± 0,5) mm, son diamètre extérieur est de (76,2 ± 0,5) mm et son diamètre intérieur de 74 mm
environ, pour que la masse de l’assemblage de cylindres soit de (567,0 ± 0,5) g.
5.1.5 Les volumes dont il est fait mention sont des volumes nominaux et il convient, en principe, de
les augmenter du volume du fluide déplacé par les parois du cylindre intérieur pendant l’essai. Dans la
pratique, étant donné que cette erreur est commune à tous les appareils de ce type, ce phénomène n’est
pas pris en compte.
