Group1 when solids tonnage(t) ,solids density(ds) and % solids by wt.(Sw) is known

Volume of water Vw .= (100-Sw)X t/Sw how much water is as

Volume of pulp Vp .= Vw+(t/ds) volume of water+volum
Density of pulp dp .= (Vw+t)/Vp mass/volume

Group2 when pulp volume (Vp), pulp density(dp) and solids density(ds) is known

Solids tonnage t .= VpXds/((dp-1)X(ds-1))

Volume of water Vw .= Vp-(t/ds)
% solids by wt. Sw .= 100.t/(t+Vw)
