As much as 1% in granites sold for interior use. That is "granite" not granite though.

Is basalt permeable?
There are 2 types of permeability- Porosity and Perviousness Granite and basalt are both pervious Granite has low porosity, but basalt can be both porous or non-porous. It depends on its rate of cooling.
What is the characteristics of granite?
Granite is coarse grained, has a uniformly dispersed crystalline structure, has a specific gravity of 2.6-2.7, is composed of varying amounts of various feldspars, quartz, micas, and other minerals, even small amounts of uranium. Granite is hard, tough, and resistant to fracture because of the interlocking structure of the minerals within. Granite's colors are varied; pinks, reds, and gray are most common. Its porosity is negligible, between 0.3 to 4%. It's weather resistant, heat resistant and even chemical resistant.
Clay and solid rock are in porosity?
clay and solid rock has porosity
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%.
Which of the following materials probably has the lowest porosity 1 Well sorted fine grained sediment 2 Well sorted coarsegrained sediment 3 Unfractured granite 4 Sand with well?
well sorted coarse grained sediment

What is the porosity of giallo fiorito granite?
Very porous, keep it sealed contantly and blot up all spill imeadiately
What is low porosity and high porosity?
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
Is a granite permeable?
No, being crystallized from liquid magma there are virtually no pore spaces so it has a low porosity and fluids can not flow through it very easily. However granite usually has lage open joints in it (a result of the shrinkage during cooling) and these do allow water to flow.
What is the tagalog meaning of porosity?
Ang kahulugan ng "porosity" sa Tagalog ay "papak" o "bukas-bukas." Ito ay tumutukoy sa dami o kahabaan ng mga butas o espasyo na makikita sa isang bagay tulad ng lupa o kahoy.
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
