Abstract
An attempt is made to determine the actual distribution of the pore sizes in a porous rock from the cumulative distribution of mercury injected into the rock with increasing pressure against capillary forces. The aim is to correct for those pores which could fill at a given pressure but which do not, because they are connected to the mercury source only by smaller pores. The presented correction is based on probability concepts.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
