Enter the total weight and the component weight into the calculator to determine the parts per hundred (pph). This calculator helps to find out the concentration of a component in a mixture.

Parts Per Hundred Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the parts per hundred (pph).

pph = (CW / TW) * 100

Variables:

  • pph is the parts per hundred
  • CW is the component weight (grams)
  • TW is the total weight of the mixture (grams)

To calculate the parts per hundred, divide the component weight by the total weight and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

What is Parts Per Hundred?

Parts per hundred (pph) is a unit of measure used to describe the concentration of a particular substance within a mixture or solution. It is similar to the more commonly known parts per million (ppm) but is used for larger concentrations. One part per hundred represents one part of a component per 100 parts of the total mixture, which can also be expressed as a percentage.

How to Calculate Parts Per Hundred?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Parts Per Hundred (pph).

  1. First, determine the total weight of the mixture (TW) in grams.
  2. Next, determine the weight of the component within the mixture (CW) in grams.
  3. Use the formula from above = pph = (CW / TW) * 100.
  4. Finally, calculate the Parts Per Hundred (pph).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem :

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Total weight of the mixture (TW) = 200 grams

Weight of the component (CW) = 50 grams
