Best Answer - Chosen by Voters *Specific gravity of mild steel=7.861093 =7.86 UPTO 2 decimal. [*Density of mild steel is 7,861.093 kg/m³ (0.284 lb/in³) (0.284 pound/cubic inch = 490.752 pound/cubic foot) The Specific Gravity - SG - is a dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of density of the material to the density of water at a specified temperature. Specific Gravity can be expressed as SG = ρ / ρH2O where SG = specific gravity ρ = density of fluid or substance (kg/m3) ρH2O = density of water (kg/m3)
It is common to use the density of water at 4 Deg C (39oF) as reference - at this point the density of water is at the highest - 1000 kg/m3 or 62.4 lb/ft3. *specific gravity of mild steel =DENSITY of mild steel/density of water. *SG mild steel = ρ mild steel / ρH2O =7,861.093 kg/m^3/1000 kg/m^3 =7.861093 =7.86 UPTO 2 decimal OR *SG mild steel = ρ mild steel / ρH2O =490.752 lb/ft^3 / 62.4 lb/ft^3 =7.8646153846153846153846153846154 ==7.86 UPTO 2 decimal
