For a geotextile, the volumetric flow rate of water per unit cross-section area, per unit head, under laminar flow conditions, in the normal direction through the fabric. 3, record 1, English, - permittivity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The Committee [on Geotextiles, Geomembranes, and Related Products] has defined permittivity of a geotextile as the volumetric flow rate of water per unit cross-sectional area per unit head under laminar flow conditions, in the normal direction through a geotextile.... Calculated using the Darcy equation, permittivity is actually the coefficient of permeability divided by fabric thickness.... Permittivity values provide a fair comparison of permeability between fabrics and also allow for calculation of a Darcy's coefficient of permeability if necessary. 2, record 1, English, - permittivity

Drainage. Tous les géotextiles présents sur le marché ne sont pas en mesure de remplir cette fonction. Leur permittivité "P", c'est-à-dire leur aptitude à laisser percoler l'eau, devra être suffisante et compatible avec le milieu environnant pour ne pas opposer à l'eau venant du sol une résistance à la pénétration. 2, record 1, French, - permittivit%C3%A9
