The permeability (anti P) and diffusion coefficient (D) of the gases H/sub 2/, Ar, Kr and Xe have been measured in certain elastomer materials of interest to the FFTF/CRBRP Cover Seal Program. These elastomers include Buna N, Buna S, Butyl Rubber, ethylene-propylene polyacrylic, polyurethane and silicone. Measurements were made over the temperature range 100 to 300/sup 0/F. Data for the permeability and diffusion coefficient for these gases in the above elastomer materials are given. The method used also yields data for the solubility of gas in the elastomer; however, these data are less precise than data for anti P and D.
