What is Porosity?

Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e. "empty") 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%.

How to Calculate Percentage Air Voids given Porosity?

Percentage Air Voids given Porosity calculator uses Percentage of Air Voids = Porosity in Soil Mechanics*Air Content to calculate the Percentage of Air Voids, The Percentage Air Voids given Porosity formula is defined as the proportion of the total volume of a soil that is occupied by air, expressed as a percentage. It is a measure of the air-filled porosity of the soil, indicating the extent to which the pore spaces within the soil are filled with air. Percentage of Air Voids is denoted by n_a symbol.

How to calculate Percentage Air Voids given Porosity using this online calculator?
