A measuring system for the determination of the intrinsic permeability of highly porous materials is presented. The evaluation of the measurements is conducted on the basis of the Theory of Porous Media (TPM). By adjusting the calculation to the measurement results achieved with polyethylenglycol (PEG) 300 and open‐cell aluminium foam, the intrinsic permeability of the metal foam is determined.
