Permeability Converter
Comprehensive Permeability Converter
Permeability is a critical parameter in fluid flow and porous media studies. It quantifies the ability of a material (such as a rock or membrane) to allow fluids to pass through it. Our Permeability Converter enables you to convert between various permeability units—ranging from measurements at different temperatures (0°C and 23°C) to values expressed in inches. This tool is essential for engineers and scientists working in geoscience, petroleum engineering, and environmental studies.
What Units Are Covered?
Our converter supports a complete list of permeability units, with conversion factors defined relative to kilogram/pascal/second/square meter (base unit):
Kilogram/pascal/second/square meter:
The base unit.Permeability (0°C):
1 unit = 5.72135×10⁻¹¹ kg/Pa·s·m².Permeability (23°C):
1 unit = 5.74525×10⁻¹¹ kg/Pa·s·m².Permeability inches (0°C):
1 unit = 1.45322×10⁻¹² kg/Pa·s·m².Permeability inches (23°C):
1 unit = 1.45929×10⁻¹² kg/Pa·s·m².
How Does It Work?
Our converter uses a two-step process:
Convert to Base Unit:
The input value is first converted to the base unit (kg/Pa·s·m²) using the conversion factor of the selected “From” unit.Convert to Target Unit:
The value in the base unit is then converted to your chosen “To” unit using its corresponding conversion factor.
This process ensures precise and consistent conversions for all your permeability calculations.
