Abstract In a linear dependence of the sorption coefficient S on the equivalent pressure of the penetrant the differences between the Fickian and chemical potential formulation of the diffusion current are very soon larger than 20%, the assumed and tolerated error limit of the experiment. It turns out that the zero concentration diffusion coefficientD o determined from the sorption or permeation transient on the basis of the chemical potential basis is larger than that determined on the basis of Fick's law. The exponential concentration dependence as measured byγ, however, is very little affected up toγc o=4. The steady state current of the permeation mulitplied by the time-lag yields the concentration dependent sorption practically independent of the formulation used.
