With 2 ASTM test methods, each with multiple methods and ways to report the results, you may get so much conflicting information that none of the information permeates into your brain in an understandable way. Whether specifying a coating for an internal tank lining, or for the exterior of a concrete building, permeability may be on the mind of a specifier.
