Is marble permeable or impermeable

Answer 1

Marble is stone that is generally polished and used in fine building work, furniture, or decorative art. It may be white or colored. It is porous, and easily stained. Marble is etched by acids. Wipe off anything spilled on marble immediately, as you would on a wood surface. Avoid setting beverage glasses directly on marble as they leave rings.

Answer 2

In general, small samples of marble will show "air permeability."

Permeability is a property of a rock volume to allow fluids or gases to pass through them, due to pressure gradient (a higher pressure at the inlet than at the outlet). Porosity and absorbency varies in marble, but we are very aware that fluids can be absorbed, as marble tops are very easy to stain.

Permeability requires that these pores be interconnected, and that pressure gradient is sufficient to push the fluids through the pore openings. So, in construction, where marble tiles are cemented in place, marble may be considered to be an adequate seal. But, a common test of permeability is to pass air through a sample, often under high pressure. Under these conditions, a measurable flow at the outlet indicates permeability.
