Steel (Carbon) density and calculation basis
Steel (Carbon) is represented in this table by a fixed reference density of 7850 kg/m^3, equivalent to 7.85 g/cm^3. Standard engineering density for carbon steel.
At this fixed reference, 1 liter of Steel (Carbon) corresponds to 7.85 kg, while 1 kg corresponds to 0.127389 liters. Its table density is 687.4% higher than the 997 kg/m^3 water reference used in this dataset.
Among the 13 fixed table records labeled Metals, the nearest density to Steel (Carbon) is Stainless Steel at 8000 kg/m^3: an absolute difference of 150 kg/m^3 (1.9% relative to Steel (Carbon)). 4 records have a lower fixed density and 8 have a higher one. The observed range in this labeled group is Aluminum at 2700 kg/m^3 to Gold at 19320 kg/m^3. This is a numerical comparison, not a claim that the materials are interchangeable.
For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.00204723 ton (US) per cup (US).
The fixed value supports repeatable calculations but is not a batch, grade, supplier, or laboratory specification. Use a measured or certified density when those conditions control the result.
