To design, fabricate, and maintain safe and efficient industrial piping systems, it is important to understand the different types of pipe fittings. Pipe fittings are important elements that are used to change the direction of flow, change line size, branch off into a number of directions, connect between straight pipe sections, or end a line […]

The exact weight of the mild steel (MS) structural sections is important for estimating the structural steel required, calculating the dead loads or shipping freight for fabrication projects. A MS angle weight chart that is accurate, will help the structural engineer, steel fabricators, quantity surveyor and procurement teams, to be able to check on the […]

The exact linear mass of piping is a fundamental requirement when designing piping, structural framing, logistics planning and estimating materials costs. A clear, easy to read stainless steel pipe weight chart enables piping engineers, procurement staff, project estimators and fabricators to quickly verify dead load calculations, calculate freight shipping capacity and specify a structural support […]

A carbon steel grades chart provides piping engineers, procurement and fabricators with a quick reference tool to compare a design specification to an actual product available for purchasing or fabrication before it advances to a fabrication or ordering state. These grades, such as A36, A105, A106 and A516 appear everywhere on drawings and purchase orders […]

The term metal density is applied to the amount of mass in a given volume.The main use of density data is calculating a component’s mass from its volume, or estimating how much material a given quantity will weigh.The density of all metal varies according to the metal it is made of, such as stainless steel, […]

Brass density is different from grade to grade due to variation in proportions of copper, zinc and other alloying elements. The amount of Zinc present will not affect the density of brass metal, but an increase in the Zinc percentage will result in the brass being less dense than an increase in the amount of […]

SS 304 and SS 316 stainless steels look identical, but their differing alloy composition gives them very different performance in harsh environments.The main distinction is that SS 316 usually has approximately 2–3% molybdenum while SS 304 has none. This addition enhances resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion particularly in chloride rich, marine and chemical environments. […]

When you want to calculate part weight, shipping cost, or even estimate how much material your order for a casting or bar stock is going to use, there is one thing that you must know first. This article provides you with everything you need pure copper density, calculation of density, densities in different units, and […]

Brass vs Bronze is a comparison that is frequently done since both materials are copper alloys and have similar uses. But each material has its unique chemical composition with various mechanical and corrosion resistant characteristics. Brass is a copper-zinc alloy well suited to machining and forming, known for its ductility and golden color. Bronze, on […]
