Methodology
Steel (Carbon) density and calculation basis
Evidence status: publishable.
Nominal density adopted for structural steel calculations; an engineering reference value.
grade: Structural steel engineering model
method: Constant density assumption in structural fire design
Source basis: European Commission JRC, Structural Fire Design — Worked Examples (2014), EUR 26698 EN. PDF p.85, Figure 2.4.7: density of steel. https://eurocodes.jrc.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/2022-06/2012_11_WS_fire.pdf Applicability: adopted-context.
A design assumption, not evidence that physical density is invariant with temperature.
For this direction, volume is calculated as mass divided by density after normalizing the units to kilograms and cubic meters. The resulting page multiplier is 0.115565 m^3 per ton (US).
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
