porosity

porosity
   in the paper industry, "porosity" is generally measured by the time (in seconds) required for 100 cubic centimeters of air to pass through one square inch of the paper at a standard pressure difference. Thus the porosity unit is square inch seconds per deciliter (s·in2/dl). This is sometimes called a Gurley unit after the name of a test procedure. In SI units, 1 s·in2/dl = 6.4516 seconds per meter column of air (s/m).
