Permeation
</dt>
As applied to gas flow through solids, the passage of gas into, through,
and out of a solid barrier having no holes large enough to permit more than a
small fraction of the gas to pass through any one hole. The process always
involves diffusion
through the solid and may involve various surface phenomena, such as sorption, dissociation,
migration, and desorption
of the gas molecules.
