Why is delay expressed in a process-independent form?

It is often helpful to express delay in a process-independent form so that circuits can be compared based on topology rather than speed of the manufacturing process. Moreover, with a process-independent measure for delay, knowledge of circuit speeds gained while working in one process can be carried over to a new process.

How to Calculate Propagation Delay?

Propagation Delay calculator uses Total Propagation Delay = Normalized Delay*Propagation Delay Capaitance to calculate the Total Propagation Delay, The Propagation delay formula is defined as the amount of time it takes for the head of the signal to travel from the sender to the receiver. Total Propagation Delay is denoted by t_pd symbol.
