| Assumptions: | |
| Density of water (Dw) | 1.000 |
| Density of pore water (Dpw) | 1.024 |
| Density of salt (Dsalt) | 2.222 |
| Salinity of pore water (s) | 35 |
| Additional calculations: | |
| Mass of salt (Dsalt) | Mpw – (Mt – Md) |
| Volume of salt (Vsalt) | Msalt/Dsalt |
| Mass of solids (Ms) | Md – Msalt |
| Volume of solids (Vs) | Vd – Vsalt |
| MAD property calculations: | |
| Water content (WW) | Mpw/Mt |
| Water content (WD) | Mpw/Ms |
| Bulk density (BD) | Mt/Vt |
| Dry density (DD) | Ms/Vt |
| Grain density (GD) | Ms/Vs |
| Porosity (PO) | Vpw/Vt |
| Void ratio (VR) | Vpw/Vs |
