How to convert US perms at 0 Celsius to kilograms per square meter second pascal
This family uses vapor permeance, kg/(m²·s·Pa). The US perm factor is the conventional value at 0 °C, rounded per NIST. Material permeability requires thickness; perm-inch and porous-medium permeability in darcy or m² are excluded.
Use x for the value in perm (0 °C), b for the intermediate value in kg/(m²·s·Pa), and y for the result in kg/(m²·s·Pa).
kg/(m²·s·Pa) = perm (0 °C) × 5.72135e-11
Worked examples
10 perm (0 °C) ≈ 5.72135e-10 kg/(m²·s·Pa)
Step 1: (10 × 5.72135e-11) ≈ 5.72135e-10 kg/(m²·s·Pa).
Step 2: 5.72135e-10 ÷ 1 ≈ 5.72135e-10 kg/(m²·s·Pa).20 perm (0 °C) ≈ 1.14427e-9 kg/(m²·s·Pa)
Step 1: (20 × 5.72135e-11) ≈ 1.14427e-9 kg/(m²·s·Pa).
Step 2: 1.14427e-9 ÷ 1 ≈ 1.14427e-9 kg/(m²·s·Pa).
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About US perms at 0 Celsius
US perms at 0 Celsius (perm (0 °C)) measures permeability under the conventions above. The base value in kg/(m²·s·Pa) is (x × 5.72135e-11), where x is the numerical value in perm (0 °C). Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Kilograms per square meter second pascal
