Mass Percent to Volume Percent Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Volume Percent of the First Phase given its mass percent is:

$\text{Volume Percent} = \frac{\text{Mass Percent} \times \text{Density of Second Phase} \times 100}{\text{Mass Percent} \times \text{Density of Second Phase} + (100 - \text{Mass Percent}) \times \text{Density of First Phase}}$

Definition

Volume Percent of the First Phase is the volume percent of the first phase in a two-phase microstructure. Mass Percent of the First Phase is the mass percent of the first phase in a two-phase microstructure. Density of the Second Phase is the density of the second phase in a two-phase microstructure. Density of the First Phase is the density of the first phase in a two-phase microstructure.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mass Percent of First Phase = 20%
Density of Second Phase = 6000 kg/m³
Density of First Phase = 8500 kg/m³

Using the formula:

$\text{Volume Percent} = \frac{20 \times 6000 \times 100}{20 \times 6000 + (100 - 20) \times 8500} \approx 15 \%$

The Volume Percent of the First Phase is approximately 15%.
