Detailed explanation-1: -Permeability is a measure of the ease of passage of liquids or gases or specific chemicals through the material. Permeability is determined by applying a head and determining the depth of penetration or the amount of liquid or gas passing through the sample.
Detailed explanation-2: -Permeability is a property of porous materials that is an indication of the ability for fluids (gas or liquid) to flow through them. Fluids can more easily flow through a material with high permeability than one with low permeability.
Detailed explanation-3: -Permeability is a measure of the ease of flow of a fluid through a porous solid.
Detailed explanation-4: -What does permeability mean? Permeability is the quality or state of being permeable-able to be penetrated or passed through, especially by a liquid or gas. The verb permeate means to penetrate, pass through, and often become widespread throughout something.
Detailed explanation-5: -Porosity is a measure of the volume of voids in concrete. Permeability is the rate of flow of moisture through concrete under a pressure gradient. Voids through which moisture can move must be interconnected and of a certain size.
