Abstract
In the present work, the annular static gaskets are considered as porous media and Darcy’s law is written for a steady radial flow of a compressible gas with a first order slip boundary conditions. From this, a simple equation is obtained that includes Klinkenberg’s intrinsic permeability factor kv of the gasket and the Knudsen number Kn′o defined with a characteristic length ℓ. The parameters kv and ℓ of the porous gasket are calculated from experimental results obtained with a reference gas at several gasket stress levels. Then, with kv and ℓ, the inverse procedure is performed to predict the leakage rate for three different gases. It is shown that the porous media model predicts leak rates with the same accuracy as the laminar-molecular flow (LMF) model of Marchand et al. However, the new model has the advantage of furnishing phenomenological information on the evolution of the intrinsic permeability and the gas flow regimes with the gasket compressive stress. It also enables quick identification of the part of leakage that occurs at the flange-gasket interface at low gasket stresses. At low gas pressure, the behavior of the apparent permeability diverges from that of Klinkenberg’s, indicating that the rarefaction effect becomes preponderant on the leak.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
