As much as 1% in granites sold for interior use. That is "granite" not granite though.
Unfractured granite probably has the lowest porosity among the options given. Granite is a dense, crystalline rock with a low porosity due to its solid mineral composition and lack of fractures or pore spaces.
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.
Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.
Sealed granite is less porous than unsealed granite, as the sealant helps to reduce the stone's ability to absorb liquids. However, it is not completely non-porous, so it is still possible for liquids to penetrate sealed granite given enough time. Regular resealing can help to maintain its level of porosity resistance.
Porosity and permeability of rocks and soil determine how much water can be stored and how easily it can flow through groundwater. Rocks like sandstone and limestone with high porosity and permeability are good at storing and allowing the movement of groundwater. Conversely, impermeable rocks like clay or granite store less water and restrict the flow of groundwater.

Very porous, keep it sealed contantly and blot up all spill imeadiately
Granite is considered a low-porosity rock, meaning it has very small, interconnected pores. While it is not as porous as some other types of rock, like sandstone, granite can still absorb water and other liquids if not properly sealed.

Granite: A durable and dense rock that is resistant to water absorption due to its low porosity. Basalt: A fine-grained volcanic rock with low porosity that is commonly used in construction and landscaping. Marble: A metamorphic rock that is often polished and used in countertops and sculptures due to its non-porous nature.
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
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.
Granite particles are interlocked as the minerals formed from the slow cooling of molten material. Sandstone does not have the same interlocking crystal system, and voids between particles are generally larger.

However, it is not completely non-porous, so it is still possible for liquids to penetrate sealed granite given enough time. Regular resealing can help to maintain its level of porosity resistance.
how do we calculate porosity of ceramic?
Porosity is the formation of bubbles in the weld.
