Outgassing Database

Vacuum Outgassing

Testing for outgassing is performed in accordance with the “Standard Test Method for Total Mass Loss and Collected Volatile Condensable Materials from Outgassing in a Vacuum Environment” (ASTME595), to determine the mass loss in vacuum and the amount of volatile condensable material. This test data can be used to substantiate low outgassing performance to verify the suitability of a material for spaceflight environments.
