Permeability Test

A permeability test measures how easily a liquid or gas can pass through a material, such as soil, rock, or filter media. It’s an important factor in construction, environmental management, and engineering, as it indicates how substances like water or pollutants might move through the material. The test involves applying a pressure difference across a sample and recording the flow rate to determine the material’s permeability coefficient. This helps engineers assess drainage, contamination potential, or the suitability of materials for specific applications, ensuring safe and effective design and management of infrastructure and environmental systems.
