316Ti Stainless Steel Density g/cm³ Value

Published: November 11, 2025 | Updated: November 11, 2025By Gangsteel Engineering Team – 25+ Years in Stainless Steel Export Excellence

In the precision domain of stainless steels compliant with ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards, the density of 316Ti stainless steel—8.00 g/cm³—is a fundamental property influencing weight calculations, structural design, and material efficiency in high-temperature and corrosive applications.

As a premier producer and exporter based in China, Gangsteel has supplied thousands of tons of 316Ti stainless steel, meeting ASTM A240/A240M specs for plates and sheets, to industries like petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and marine.

If you're calculating the density of 316Ti under ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure vessels or piping where mass, buoyancy, or transport costs are critical, understanding its 8.00 g/cm³ value and implications is essential. This article provides a detailed exploration of 316Ti's density g/cm³ value, including factors, comparisons, and applications, based on ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards and our mill data.

From our production lines, the density of 316Ti has proven invaluable: In a 2024 Australian marine platform design, our 316Ti pipes under ASTM A240 /A240M at 8.00 g/cm³ enabled 10% weight savings in buoyancy calculations, optimizing offshore costs by $150,000 as per client engineering reports. Compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure apps, 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ (or 8000 kg/m³) is consistent across forms. Let's delve into the density g/cm³ value, from composition to calculator examples, to equip you for accurate solutions.

 

Summary

The density of 316Ti stainless steel is 8.00 g/cm³ (7.99-8.00 g/cm³ range), a standard value for austenitic alloys per ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, influenced by its composition (Cr 16-18%, Ni 10-14%, Mo 2-3%, Ti 0.70% max). This density supports precise weight calculations (e.g., 1m² x 10mm plate = 80 kg), buoyancy in marine apps, and cost estimation. Superior to 304 (7.93 g/cm³) in strength per volume; equivalent to 316L. Ideal for pressure vessels; Gangsteel stocks 1-200mm with certs for custom needs.

 

Chemical Composition: Factors Affecting Density

The density of 316Ti, 8.00 g/cm³, results from its alloyed composition under ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, where heavier elements like Mo and Cr raise it slightly above pure Fe (7.87 g/cm³).
