pore size distribution

Pore size distribution describes how different sizes of tiny openings, called pores, are spread within a material. Imagine a sponge with holes of various sizes; some are small, others large. In materials like soil, rocks, or filters, knowing this distribution helps us understand properties like how fluids move through or how well a material can trap particles. It’s measured by analyzing the frequency of pores at each size, providing a detailed profile that reveals the material’s structure and performance in applications like filtration, construction, or oil recovery.
