1. What is EN8 Steel Density?

Definition: EN8 is a medium carbon steel with a typical density of approximately 7.85 g/cm³ or 7850 kg/m³.

Purpose: This calculator converts between kg/m³ and g/cm³ density units for EN8 steel and similar materials.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( \rho \) — Density in g/cm³
• \( \rho_{kg/m³} \) — Density in kg/m³

Explanation: Since 1 g/cm³ equals 1000 kg/m³, we divide the kg/m³ value by 1000 to get the g/cm³ value.

3. Importance of Density Calculation

Details: Knowing material density is crucial for weight calculations, structural design, and material selection in engineering applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the density in kg/m³ (default 7850 for EN8 steel). The calculator will automatically convert to g/cm³.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the standard density of EN8 steel?
A: The standard density is approximately 7.85 g/cm³ or 7850 kg/m³.

Q2: Why are there different density units?
A: Different industries use different units - kg/m³ is common in construction while g/cm³ is used in material science.

Q3: Does temperature affect steel density?
A: Yes, density decreases slightly with increasing temperature due to thermal expansion.

Q4: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact, but actual material density may vary slightly based on composition.

Q5: Can I use this for other materials?
A: Yes, this calculator works for any material where you know the density in kg/m³.
