Abstract: Abstract The transient method of the mass flow rate measurements through a microporous media is developed and analyzed. This method is based on the constant volume technique and the exponential fit of the pressure evolution in each tank which allows calculating the permeability directly. The pressure relaxation time, a single fitting parameter, is introduced and its behaviors are analyzed in a large pressure range. By measuring the pressure relaxation time for one gas, the permeability of a microporous sample can be derived for the other gases. With the actual experimental setup, we measured the mass flow rate through the microporous media in the range 5⋅10−7−5⋅10−12 [kg s−1] and the permeability in the range 10−14−10−11 [m2]. Highlights • The transient method of the mass flow rate measurements through a microporous media is developed and analyzed. • The pressure relaxation time, single fitting parameter, is introduced and analyzed in a wide pressure range. • The mass flow rate through the microporous media is measured in the range 5E-7 – 5E-12 [kg/s]. • The permeability is measured in the range 1E-14-1E-11 [mˆ2]. • Gas nature dependence of the permeability is found.
