... a property of a substance that permits passage of water vapor, and is equal to the permeance of 1-in. thickness of the substance. When permeability varies with psychometric conditions, the spot or specific permeability defines the property at a specific condition. Permeability is measured in perm-inches. 4, record 1, English, - water%20vapor%20permeability

La réduction de la diffusion de vapeur d'eau est plus facile à réaliser que la réduction des fuites d'air. Un matériau ayant une faible perméabilité à la vapeur d'eau (une feuille d'aluminium ou un plastique appliqué sur la face intérieure d'un mur, par exemple) limite la diffusion d'humidité à des quantités négligeables. Certains matériaux peuvent servir à la fois de pare-air et de pare-vapeur; citons notamment les plaques de plâtre à endos revêtu d'une feuille métallique, qui offrent la faible perméabilité à la vapeur d'eau nécessaire à un pare-vapeur et ont la rigidité et l'étanchéité à l'air requises d'un pare-air. 3, record 1, French, - perm%C3%A9abilit%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20la%20vapeur%20d%27eau
