How to use
Select one or more grades to compare family, approximate physical properties and distinguishing notes.
Example calculation
ρ: 304 → 7900 kg/m³; 316 → 8000 kg/m³; 430 → 7700 kg/m³
Calculation method
Results use the stated subset of the sources below. Numerical conversions and limits are explicit.
Calculation limits
Density and conductivity refer to room temperature; expansion covers 20–100 °C. Typical manufacturer data are not delivery guarantees or automatic material selection. 316 is not resistant to every chloride environment.
