convertimate Vapor permeance

US perms to micrograms per pascal second square meter

Type a value in perm to get it in µg/(Pa·s·m²) instantly.

0.05745µg/(Pa·s·m²)

That's 1.25× as open as vapor retarder paint, while plasterboard is 30× higher. That is semi-permeable: a wall built with it can still dry.

What it means

How much vapor gets through?

Permeance belongs to a material of a stated thickness. Permeability — perm-inches — belongs to the material itself, and must be divided by the thickness.

The math

How to convert perm to µg/(Pa·s·m²)

To convert US perms to micrograms per pascal second square meter, multiply by 0.0574525.

Example: 1 perm × 0.0574525 = 0.0574525 µg/(Pa·s·m²).

In the other direction, 1 µg/(Pa·s·m²) = 17.4057 perm.
