- Porosity - Wikipedia
Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i e "empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%

Porosity refers to the amount of empty space or voids within a material or substance It is often expressed as a percentage of the total volume of the material, with the remaining percentage being occupied by the solid material

- What is Porosity? How It Affects Oil Exploration and Geology
Porosity is the existence of voids or pores within a material, which can significantly modify its mechanical properties Materials with high permeability, such as sponges or certain rocks, may have reduced strength and resistance to external forces as a result of the empty spaces
- Reading: Porosity and Permeability | Geology - Lumen Learning
In a soil or rock the porosity (empty space) exists between the grains of minerals In a material like gravel the grains are large and there is lots of empty space between them since they don’t fit together very well
- Porosity: Types and Measurement - samaterials. com
Porosity is the ratio of the volume of voids to the total volume of a material It quantifies how much empty space exists within a substance, which can significantly influence its physical properties
- Porosity - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Porosity of reservoir rock is defined as the pore fraction of the rock—that is, the ratio of pore space volume to bulk volume of the rock Porosity is usually expressed as a percentage: Fluid-productive sandstones display porosities ranging between 0 05 and 0 4, or 5%–40%
