Homogeneous density vs real stock shapes
Ideal for plates, ingots, or fluid batches where average density is meaningful. For structural profiles, use section properties tables or CAD mass properties.
Model assumptions
- Single density value; no porosity, void fraction, or moisture content.
- Volume must be consistent with the phase you intend (solid vs liquid).
- No alloy mixing law; enter blended density explicitly if needed.
- Gravitational weight in lbf vs mass in kg is handled via unit categories, not automatic g conversions hidden from the user.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I enter lb/ft³?
- Use the unit selector on the row; SI base remains under the hood.
- Does this include fasteners?
- No. Only the entered volume × density.
- Is data sent to a server?
- No.
