True porosity Calculator

This calculator is used to determine the true magnitude of open porosity. It is the ratio of the volume of the open pores to the bulk volume of the material, expressed as a percentage.



True porosity Calculation

Apparent Solid Specific Gravity (Ga):
True Specific Gravity (Gt):
True porosity:

 
   
  



Formula Used:

True porosity = ( 1 - ( Ga / Gt ) ) * 100 )

where,

Ga - Apparent solid specific gravity
Gt - True specific gravity
