an instrument for measuring permeability of a substance to a given thing: in physics, for measuring magnetic permeability; in geology, for measuring permeability to various gases and liquids
permeameter in American English
(ˈpɜːrmiəˌmitər, ˌpɜːrmiˈæmɪtər)
noun
an instrument for measuring magnetic permeability
Word origin
[1885–90; permea(bility) + -meter]This word is first recorded in the period 1885–90. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: booster, lineup, scrum, seminar, sensitization-meter is a combining form meaning “measure,” used in the names of instruments measuringquantity, extent, degree, etc. Other words that use the affix -meter include: chronometer, nephelometer, radiometer, spectrometer, thermometer
