weighed portion of the substance, ground into a fine powder

I would invert the sentence:
A measured quantity of solvent is added to a weighed portion of the substance, ground into a fine powder.

Despite citations from Google, I think the past participle of "grind" should always be "ground", not "grinded".
Peer comment(s):

agree Maria Fokin : this sounds more natural. but inverting the sentense in this way should be done with caution, sometimes the order of what is added to what can be important.

Thank you. Yes, but "To a weighed portion is added..." does not seem to me to be a correct word order in English.
agree James McVay : I agree with you on "ground' over "grinded," but while I think the word order you object to is awkward, I don't believe it is grammatically incorrect, and sometimes when the list of things being added is very long, it actually becomes less awkward.

Thank you. Yes, it's sometimes more convenient to use less than ideal English word order. I find this even more so in translating from German.
