B) Grade-wise Density & Weight Correction Factors

Grade Family Included Grades Typical Density (g/cm³) Weight Factor vs 304/316
Austenitic J7, J4, 201, 202, 301, 302, 304, 304L, 304H, 305, 308, 309, 309S, 310, 310S, 316, 316L, 316H, 316Ti, 317, 317L, 321, 321H, 347, 347H ≈ 7.93 1.000 (baseline)
Ferritic / Martensitic 409L, 410, 410S, 420, 429, 430, 430Ti, 439, 441, 444 ≈ 7.70 0.971 (≈ 7.70 / 7.93)
Duplex S31803 (2205) ≈ 7.80 0.984 (≈ 7.80 / 7.93)

C) Grade-wise Weight (KG/MTR) — Quick Reference

Multiply the baseline weight (Column “Austenitic 304/316”) by the factor above to estimate Ferritic/Martensitic and Duplex weights. Shown below for common diameters:

D) Shapes, Tolerances & Grades Covered

  • Shapes: Round, Hexagonal, Square, Flat (bright/black/peeled/ground).
  • Tolerances: Typically h9–h11 for cold-drawn rounds (check ASTM A276/A484, EN 10060/10278 for exact limits).
  • Grades (by family):
    Austenitic: J7, J4, 201, 202, 301, 302, 304, 304L, 304H, 305, 308, 309, 309S, 310, 310S, 316, 316L, 316H, 316Ti, 317, 317L, 321, 321H, 347, 347H
    Ferritic/Martensitic: 409L, 410, 410S, 420, 429, 430, 430Ti, 439, 441, 444
    Duplex: S31803 (2205)

Formula (round bars): Weight (kg/m) = (π/4) × D² (mm²) × Density (g/cm³) × 10−6. Use density by grade family from Table B to compute grade-specific theoretical weights.
