abstract = {We study the leakage of fluids (liquids or gases) in
syringes with glass barrel, steel plunger and rubber O-ring
stopper. Theleakrate depends on the interfacial surface
roughness and on the viscoelastic properties of the rubber.
Random surface rough-ness is produced by sandblasting the
rubber O-rings. We present a very simple theory for gas flow
which takes into accountboth the diffusive and ballistic
flow. The theory shows that the interfacial fluid flow
(leakage) channels are so narrow thatthe gas flow is mainly
ballistic (the so called Knudsen limit). We compare the
leakrate obtained using air and helium. Forbarrels filled
with water we observe no leakage even if leakage occurs for
gases. We interpret this as resulting from capillary(Laplace
pressure or surface energy) effects.Keywords Syringes ·
