This paper presents the experimental water vapor permeability results for gypsum board, latex paint, permeable vinyl wallpaper, vinyl wallpaper, and elastomeric stucco. For each material, a series of modified cup tests was conducted, and the material water vapor permeability was obtained as a function of relative humidity across the specimen. This test method was a modification of the ASTM Standard Test Method E 96-93. The permeability values for the materials tested in this study were compared to the limited available data from literature and were found to be in good agreement.
