Specifying the Reseal Diameter

Effective reseal diameters can be estimated using the three methods outlined in Section 3.2.5 for specifying the effective pore diameters. Reseal diameters can be determined through room temperature reseal pressure experiments with a liquid of known surface tension using a modification of Equation (3.70) (Method 1)  

For a more statistically accurate value, all historical data for a given LAD mesh can be taken into account into the reseal pore diameter calculation (Method 2). SEM analysis can also be used (Method 3).
