Density Factors for Steel & Metal
While often referred to as a steel calculator weight tool, it is crucial to use the correct density factor for your specific metal. Titanium, for instance, is significantly lighter than steel.
| Material Group | Density Factor (kg/dm³) | Common Grades |
|---|---|---|
| Austenitic Alloys | 8.00 | 304L 316L 904L |
| Duplex & Super Duplex | 8.00 | S31803 S32750 S32760 |
| Titanium Alloys | 4.51 | Grade 2 Grade 5 |
| Nickel Alloys | 8.19 – 8.44 | Alloy 625 Alloy 718 |
| 6Mo / Super Austenitic | 8.00 – 8.12 | S31254 (254 SMO) |
Frequently Asked Questions
+ How accurate is this steel weight calculator?
The result is a theoretical estimate based on nominal dimensions and standard density. Actual weight may vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances (thickness/diameter) and specific alloy composition.
+ Can I use this as a general metal weight calculator?
Yes. While optimized as a steel calculator, it accurately calculates weights for non-ferrous metals like Titanium and Nickel alloys, provided you select the correct grade from the dropdown menu.
+ Why is the Titanium weight calculation different from Steel?
Titanium is approx. 45% lighter than steel (Density ~4.5 vs 8.0). Using a standard steel calculation for Titanium would result in a massive overestimation of weight, affecting logistics and cost calculations.
