What factors affect Porosity?
Porosity is directly dependent on the initial water content, temperature, pressure, relative humidity, air velocity, electromagnetic radiation, food material size, composition, and initial microstructure and viscoelastic properties of the biomaterial.
How to Calculate Porosity?
Porosity calculator uses Porosity of soil = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample-Volume of Solids)/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample to calculate the Porosity of soil, Porosity or Void Fraction is a measure of the void spaces in a material and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume between 0 and 1 or as a percentage between 0% and 100%. Porosity of soil is denoted by η symbol.
How to calculate Porosity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Porosity, enter Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (Vt) & Volume of Solids (Vs) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Porosity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.7 = (50-15)/50.
