1. What is Density of MS Plate?

Definition: This calculator converts the density of mild steel (MS) plate from kg/m³ to kg/mm³.

Purpose: It helps engineers and designers work with density values in different unit systems for material calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( \rho \) — Density in kg/mm³
• \( \rho_{kg/m³} \) — Density in kg/m³ (7850 for mild steel)

Explanation: There are 1,000,000,000 mm³ in 1 m³ (1000 mm × 1000 mm × 1000 mm), so we divide by 10⁹ to convert.

3. Importance of Density Conversion

Details: Different engineering applications require density in different units. This conversion is essential for precise calculations in small-scale designs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the density in kg/m³ (default 7850 for mild steel). The value must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the typical density of mild steel?
A: Mild steel typically has a density of about 7.85 g/cm³ or 7850 kg/m³.

Q2: Why convert to kg/mm³?
A: Some engineering calculations, especially for small components, are easier in mm³ units.

Q3: How precise is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact, though material densities may vary slightly.

Q4: Can I use this for other materials?
A: Yes, simply enter the appropriate density in kg/m³ for your material.

Q5: What's the density of MS plate in kg/mm³?
A: Approximately 7.85 × 10⁻⁶ kg/mm³ (7850 kg/m³ ÷ 10⁹).
