Best Answer

No. Porosity is defined as the measure of the storage capacity of a rock. it is the ability of holding a fluid. Its formula is defined as Pore Volume / Bulk Volume. If you take the units, m^3 / m^3 (metric), there is no unit at all. It is just a percentage or a ratio... Hope that answers your question
