Porosity Formula

Introduction to Porosity Formula

The porosity of a material is a measure of the void spaces in a material, and is calculated by dividing the void or pore volume by the total volume of the material, and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

Parameters usage:

• Vv= void volume of the material
• Vb= bulk volume of the material

Example valid values:

• voidVolume= 10
• bulkVolume= 90

Output:

• porosity= percentage porosity of the material

Data validation

The voidVolume and bulkVolume should be greater than zero. The result is a percentage representing the porosity of the material.

Summary

This porosity calculator helps in determining the extent of void spaces within a material and expresses it as a percentage of the total volume.
