Specific Weight of Materials Reference

Specific Weight of Materials Reference

Specific Weight of Materials Reference

(OP)
Anyone know a good reference for this info?

Using NX (CAD program) I can get the volume of my tooling but I need the specific weight of the material to calculate the weight.
I haven't found a good site to get this info. I'm using English units also.
Materials such as Alum. 7075, 8620 steel, 4140, Magnesium, etc.

Thanks

Its easy enough to google info like that.

RE: Specific Weight of Materials Reference

MMPDS-01 is the best source for this data. This data is widely accepted in industry.

However, I would ask if each of your CAD part models has the correct material density applied? Just knowing the total volume of your tool assembly times a single density will not give a correct weight if there are different materials used.
