What is ASTM g170-06 (2020)?

What is the difference between ASTM E1745 and e96/e96m?
E96/E96M: This test uses a wet cup method or dry (desiccant) cup method to test water permeance. F1249: This test measures the water vapor permeance using an infrared sensor. Once you have a clear understanding of ASTM E1745, choosing a classification of vapor retarder for your project should be much simpler.
What is astastm E1745 and why is it important?
ASTM E1745 is an extremely useful standard for any specifier of under-slab vapor retarders and barriers. While it’s not a complete or comprehensive tool when creating specifications, it’s still an important component.
What is the ASTM E1745 rating for a vapor retarder?
Vapor retarders that are subjected to the ASTM E1745 standard must be rated to 0.1 perms or less, though industry experts point to 0.01 perms for vapor barriers. Tensile strength is measured in pounds (force) per inch, and is tested by applying stress to the material that simulates some of the loads a vapor retarder will face during installation.
