Abstract
If the porosity of a commonly occurring sedimentary rock is estimated from its bulk density by the equation, where ϕ is the porosity in per cent and ρB is the bulk density (cgs units) of the rock saturated, the expected or mean error in ϕ is shown to be small. Values of the expected error for several classes of sediments were shown to be about equal to 3 percentage units.Keywords
