Square meters to darcy
Type a value in m² to get it in D instantly.
1.013×10¹⁴D
That's 101,324,996,583× as permeable as clean gravel — nothing on our list beats it. For water that is a hydraulic conductivity of about 9.788×10¹² cm/s.
Convert the other way: D to m²
What it means
How well does it flow?
Hydraulic conductivity assumes water at 20 °C. For oil or gas the same rock gives a different figure.
The math
How to convert m² to D
To convert square meters to darcy, multiply by 1.013×10¹².
Example: 100 m² × 1.013×10¹² = 1.013×10¹⁴ D.
In the other direction, 1 D = 9.869×10⁻¹³ m².
