permeability testing

Permeability testing measures how easily fluids like water, oil, or gas can pass through a material, such as soil, rock, or filters. It helps determine how well a material allows substances to flow, which is important in fields like geology, construction, and environmental engineering. The process involves applying fluid to one side of a sample and measuring how much passes through over time, accounting for pressure and flow rate. Results are used to assess suitability for certain applications, like groundwater flow, oil extraction, or filtering systems.
