This is actually for a text about the restoration of a fresco. Is it simply "by weight"
En el mortero, “si bien se encontró piedra molida silícea, como parte de los agregados, está en muy poca cantidad y muy probablemente sea propia de las impurezas de la misma arena. Cuantitativamente, el ligante está en una proporción de 18% p/p ( peso en peso) y el 82% restante son los agregados, en este caso arena de granulometría fina a muy fina”.
Thanks

IV.- 1.- Unidades físicas
a) Porcentaje en peso: % P/P
En realidad deberíamos expresarlo como "porcentaje en masa" de soluto. Corresponde a los g de soluto disueltos en 100 g de la solución. Podemos expresarla en forma matemática como sigue:

Mass percentage
Multiplying mass fraction by 100 gives the mass percentage. It is sometimes called weight percent (wt%) or weight-weight percentage. However, since mass and weight are different quantities, this is incorrect (see mass versus weight for details).

According to the references I have provided, neither 'porcentaje en peso' or 'weight percent' is correct!
In Spanish it should be 'porcentaje en masa' and in English, 'mass percentage'.
