D

1 D = 1 cP (cm/s) (cm/atm) = 0.986 923 μm2

 

 

 

A unit of permeability of a porous medium. By

 

 

 

traditional definition, a permeability of one

 

 

 

darcy will permit a flow of 1 cm3/s of fluid of 1

 

 

 

cP viscosity through an area of 1 cm2 under a

 

 

 

pressure gradient of 1 atm/cm. For nonprecision

 

 

 

work 1 D may be taken equal to 1 μm2 and 1 mD

 

 

 

equal to 0.001 μm2. Deprecated

 

 

 

(see ANSI Z210.1-1976).
