Permeability Converter
Convert intrinsic permeability of porous media among m², darcy, and millidarcy.
How to use
- Enter porous-media intrinsic permeability and select the geology/reservoir units among m², darcy, and millidarcy.
Capabilities and scope
Compare the area-dimension quantity describing how readily a fluid can pass through a porous material.
How it works
m² is the reference with 1 darcy=9.869233×10⁻¹³ m² and 1 mD=9.869233×10⁻¹⁶ m².
Example
1000 mD is 1 D, about 9.869233×10⁻¹³ m².
Useful for
- Convert reservoir/geology data between mD and D
- Express darcy values in SI m²
- Normalize permeability datasets
Before you use it
- This is not magnetic permeability.
- Flow rate also requires pressure gradient, viscosity, geometry, and other Darcy-law conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Is this magnetic permeability?
No. This converter handles porous-media intrinsic permeability measured in darcy or m².
