  • Raw mechanical data from currently unpublished sintering experiments using glass beads in a triaxial pressure vessel as well as porosity, permeability results of sintering under constant (uniaxial) load. These experiments will be submitted for publication in the future. All data were collected from 2021 onwards and analysed at LMU Munich. Synthetic glass bead samples are sintered to a target porosity in a furnace to make uniform (homogeneous) porous glass samples, before being cooled, measured for porosity and permeability and then placed in a furnace either: 1) in a uniaxial press; or 2) a triaxial pressure vessel. In 1) a constant load is applied for 3 or 5h; In 2) a hydrostatic or deviatoric stress is applied for variable amount of time while the permeability evolution is constantly measured. These experiments impart physical changes to the porous samples. All samples porosity and permeability (using constant flow rate and nitrogen as a permeating fluid) are also measured post-experiment. Sintered glass beads act as an analogue for magmas. Understanding the evolution of transient porous network in magmas is key to understanding pore pressure evolution in volcanic conduits, which controls effusive-explosive transitions
