Methodology
Stainless Steel density and calculation basis
Evidence status: needs-review.
Stainless steel density varies by alloy grade.
grade: Core 304 stainless steel
Source basis: Outokumpu, Core range datasheet, physical properties. Table 7, Core 304 physical properties. https://www.outokumpu.com/-/media/files/products/core/outokumpu-core-range-datasheet.pdf Applicability: conditional-comparison.
Identify representative grade and its density conditions.
Do not generalize a grade-specific value to all stainless steels.
For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.00208635 ton (US) per cup (US).
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
