Permeability leak rate equation - PARKER HANDBOOK 3.12.1
Permeability leak rate equation = L = 0.7*F*D*P*Q*(1-S)*(1-S)
Where does this equation come from
I was told thin wall film; does anyone know
Intuitively, this approximation has flaw since it assumes permeability only function of squeeze S
So a one inch cross section oring at 20% squeeze has same permeability leak rate as a .030 cross section oring at 20% squeeze even though path length different by 3233%?
why does it depend only on squeeze percentage and not path length
Does not make sense
If anyone can shed light, will greatly appreciate

Any help? Screen shot from Parker handbook.
