permeability [‚pər·mē·ə′bil·əd·ē] (electromagnetism) A factor, characteristic of a material, that is proportional to the magnetic induction produced in a material divided by the magnetic field strength; it is a tensor when these quantities are not parallel. Also known as magnetic permeability. (fluid mechanics) The ability of a membrane or other material to permit a substance to pass through it. Quantitatively, the amount of substance which passes through the material under given conditions. (geology) The capacity of a porous rock, soil, or sediment for transmitting a fluid without damage to the structure of the medium. Also known as conductivity; perviousness. (naval architecture) The percentage of a given space in a ship that can be occupied by water. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The first question to ask is whether you are running the highest dryer fabric permeabilities that will not cause sheet instability. Permeabilities are assumed to decrease with decreasing porosities. Endeavors to study the impacts of innerliner permeabilities, gaseous solubilities in rubber tire components and intracasing pressurization can also benefit from quantifications of rubber oxygen content levels. |
