This dataset includes an Excel file with the results of B-value tests to determine the magnitude of the back pressure required for full saturation of Sierra White granite samples. Test were conducted on cylindrical rock specimens of Sierra White granite in a custom water pressurized chamber. Dimensions and properties of Sierra White granite specimens are summarized in the PDF file. The PDF file also includes a description of the B-value tests, experimental procedure, and results.
