• InfiltrationRelated: Pore volume provides storage space for water entering the soil.

• PetroleumRelated: Pore space determines how much petroleum a reservoir can hold.

• RefractoryRelated: Pore structure affects insulation, strength, and penetration by molten materials.

• CastingRelated: Gas or shrinkage porosity can weaken cast parts and spoil their surfaces.

• Activated charcoalRelated: Its network of pores gives activated charcoal an exceptionally large surface area for binding molecules.

• BiocharRelated: Biochar pores affect surface area, water movement, and interactions with soil organisms.
