Porosity is measured by taking a sample of the soil. The sample is then tested to measure the speed of water passing through the soil.

How does density relate to porosity?
The relationship between density and porosity is an indirect proportionality.That is, the higher the density of a rock, the lower will be the porosity of that rock.In a more explicit way, the weight of over-lying rocks increase the density of the rock beneath, which in turn decreases the amount of pore spaces (porosity) of the rock through processes such as compaction, cementation, etc. Posted by Nwigwudu Ikechukwu.
What does porosity mean in ceramics?
A volume fraction of a material that is empty, or without material.
How are tsunamis measured?
A tsunameter.
How can you measured the earthquake?
The magnitude of an earthquake is measured with a seismograph and the readout is measured using the Richter scale - See Sources and related links for more information.
How are earthquakes predicted and measured?
Earthquakes are measured using a seismograph. There is no exact science to predicting an earthquake. Scientists can only project the possibility of an earthquake occurring. This is based on measured seismic activity within a specific concentrated zone.
What is low porosity and high porosity?
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
Is a glass an example of porosity?
yes.... it is an answer for porosity....
What does porosity mean in welding?
Porosity is the formation of bubbles in the weld.
How do you calculate porosity of clay bricks?
how do we calculate porosity of ceramic?
How does sorting of rock particles affect porosity of rocks?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
How does porosity and permeability interact?
The porosity directly correlates with the permeability because the permeability requires a certain level of porosity for a certain measure of it.
Clay and solid rock are in porosity?
clay and solid rock has porosity
How does the hair's porosity affect haircolor?
What is porosity ? And how can it affect hair color
Is clay porosity higher than sand porosity?
Yes, clay is more porous than sand. Typical porosity of silt and clay is 35-50% and 33-60%, respectively. Sand has porosity of 20-35%.
What is porosity in welding applicaton?
Porosity is nothing more than bubbles in the weld. Surprisingly a weld can contain quite a bit of porosity without affecting the strength.
What is the deffination of absolute porosity?
total porosity of the rock weather their individual grains are connected or not.
How sorting affects porosity?
more sphericity,more porosity good sorting ,more uniform size and more will be the porosity porosity doesnot depend on size of grain
