Characteristic of a material that is full of tiny connected airspace that water can seep through.

Permeability is the ability of a material to allow fluids or gases to pass through it. It is a measure of how easily substances can diffuse through a material. Materials with high permeability allow for easy flow, while those with low permeability restrict the movement of fluids or gases.

∙ 9y agoIn earth science, permeability is a measurement of the ease with which a liquid or gas is able to travel through a porous solid material.
In physics, (specifically electromagnetism) it is the ability of a material to allow a magnetic field to form within itself. Permeability has different meanings depending on area of application (electromagnetism, earth science and chemistry). In Earth Sciences permeability is a measure of how a porous material such as a rock allows fluids to pass through it. absorbency absorbency

Unit of relative permeability?
Relative permeability is dimensionless
What is permeability value of germanium?
16.0 is the value of permeability
What are facts about permeability?
Changes in permeability are changes in the number of compounds that can pass through a membrane. The presence of certain chemicals or radiation can change the permeability of a membrane.
What is the permeability of coars and fine sand?
The permeability of coarse sand is 1.89mL/s and the permeability of fine sand is 0.54mL/s.
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.
Which of the following is a measure of a materials ability to transmit fluids through interconnected pore spaces capacity competence or permeability?

What is soil permeability?
soil permeability is the amount of water soil can hold
Potential sources of error in experiment permeability test falling head method?
1. The permeability results might be localized due to excavation. 2. Lateral permeability not considered which may lead to erroneous estimate of field permeability.
