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, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.00204723 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.
