TOP 08 2 503 Low Volatility Agent Permeation (LVAP) Swatch Testing

Abstract

This Test Operations Procedure (TOP) provides the current standard methods for testing the permeation of low volatility chemicals, such as persistent nerve agent (VX), through swatches of materials. Swatches can be taken from clothing or equipment that is new, with or without pretreatment(s), and that was previously subjected to periods of wear under varying conditions of field use, storage, and/or environmental exposure(s). These procedures are designed to be used as part of an overall assessment program evaluating the material performance, manufacturing, and integration with other pieces of the protective ensemble.
