I have to mix two ceramic powders in volume percent (50 vol% each). I measured their tap density. I multiplied this tap density with 0.5. It gave me the mass that i can weigh to mix the powders. I can adjust these masses according to their ratio to get sufficient quantity of the mixed powder. Now I will weigh the powders according to these values of masses, and mix them.
Is this procedure right?
The true density must be used for conversion rather than tapping density.
You can use the following link for conversion.

What you mentioned is the correct except that tapping density. We should always take experimental/true density of the powders/compound.
Thank you so much Imad Disher and Venkata Ramana Mudinepalli !
