Normal liquid Helium: Impenetrability for "Super leak"

Normal liquid He (He I) stored in a glassware sealed by a filter of the dense fine white powder (alumina powder), called a "Superleak", demonstrates that He I penetrates the Superleak very slowly because of a finite (i.e. normal) viscosity. This is very different from the case of Superfluid He II.
