Porosity has a strong influence on e.g. electric conductivity and seismic velocity. Porosity can be measured both on hand samples and on drill core samples with maximum mass 3 kg and minimum mass 100 g. Water-saturated (3-7 days at room temperature and pressure) samples are weighed before and after drying in an oven (three days at 105ºC).
Porosity
Porosity measurements reveal the proportion of interconnected pore and fracture volume within the total volume of the sample.
