Density of Mild Steel {🪨 2022 update}

Definition

The density of mild steel is the weight of mild steel per its volume.

Mild steels contain 0.15% to 0.25% in carbon content (Typically).

Formula

ρ = m / V

• ρ:  Density
• m: mass
• V: Volume

Density vs Specific Weight vs Specific Gravity

I would like to point out that there are conceptual differences between density, specific weight and specific gravity. Follow the link if you want to learn more about these differences.

With that said, this page will provide you the mild steel density in kg/m³ (SI unit), g/cm³, g/ml, kg/l, lb/ft³.

Density of Mild Steel (Around 0.20% Carbon)

𝛒 = 7.87 g/cm³

𝛒 = 7870 kg/m³

𝛒 = 7.87 g/ml
𝛒 = 7870 g/L

𝛒 = 491.308 lb/ft³
