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

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?

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.


What is the porosity of giallo fiorito granite?

Very porous, keep it sealed contantly and blot up all spill imeadiately


Is granit a porous rock?

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.


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 a rocks ability to allow water to pass through?

Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.


Three non-porous rock?

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.


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.


Which rock is more porous granite sandstone or slate?

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.


Is sealed granite still porous?

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.

What does porosity mean in welding?
