Permeability depends on membrane solubility and the presence of specific integral transport proteins.

Other factors such as pressure, concentration, and temperature of the molecules or solutes on either side, as well as the size of the molecules can also affect permeability.

The porosity directly correlates with the permeability because the permeability requires a certain level of porosity for a certain measure of it.


What is the permeability of No. 8 gravel No. 67 limstone No. 8 limestone No. 57 stone and limestone sand?

The gravels will be very fast. The permability of the sand will depend on how clean it is. As more material passes the No. 200 sieve, permeability will rapidly decrease. At 10 to 15 percent, ponding will easily occur.


Permeability refers to?

Permeability is a word used to describe a property of a certain material. It describes whether it will allow another substance such as water to pass through it. To use it in example, one could say 'This cloth is all wet, so it must be permeable'

What are facts about permeability?

Permeability refers to the ability of a material to allow fluids or gases to pass through it. It is influenced by factors such as the size of the pores in the material, the composition of the material, and the pressure applied.
