[MW:10633] RE: 10630] What is the Specific Gravity for Forgings/Flanges

Dear Kamal,

 

This fully depends on the chemical composition of the material. If this is similar to the Carbon Steel plate it will have same specific gravity (SG). In general you can say that all Carbon Steels have a SG of 7.8, for Stainless Steel this will be 8.0 for and some Super Duplex Stainless Steels even have 8.1. This is all caused by the chemical composition. If you take a look at SG of separate chemical elements you will understand this. For example Nickel has a SG of 8.9, so when more Nickel is present in the material your SG will increase.

 

Met vriendelijke groeten / Best Regards

Frnds,

The specific gravity for Carbon steel plates is 7.8.

I would like to know whether the forged flange will also have the same specific gravity or it will differ?

If differs what is the specific gravity for forged flanges/forgings?
