Apparent porosity calculator

Apparent Porosity refers to the amount of void (or pores) within a volume of sediment or porous solid. The value of porosity is measured as a fraction or percentage. The True Porosity includes the volume of the sealed pores also.

Calculate Apparent Porosity:

Apparent porosity = ( s - w / s - i ) * 100

where,

s - weight of piece soaked
w - weight of dry piece
i - weight of the piece soaked and immersed.

Porosity is the percentage relationship between the volume of the pores space and the total volume of the refractory sample. Apparent Porosity does not include the volume of the sealed pores.
