A device suitable for conducting an on-site measurement of the density
and/or R-value of a gas-permeable material is provided, comprising: a
chamber comprising a first port and a second port; a diffuser in fluid
communication with the second port of the chamber, wherein the diffuser
comprises a diffuser port for conveying a gas flow to or from a
gas-permeable material, and wherein the area of the diffuser port is
greater than the area of the second port; a pressure sensor arranged to
measure the pressure in the chamber; a temperature sensor arranged to
measure the temperature of a gas in the chamber; and a relative humidity
sensor arranged to measure the relative humidity in the chamber.
