Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
*Specific gravity of mild steel=7.861093
=7.86 UPTO 2 decimal.

[*Density of mild steel is 7,861.093 kg/m (0.284 lb/in)
(0.284 pound/cubic inch = 490.752 pound/cubic foot)
The Specific Gravity - SG - is a dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of density of the material to the density of
water at a specified temperature. Specific Gravity can be expressed as

SG = / H2O

where

SG = specific gravity

= density of fluid or substance (kg/m3)

H2O = density of water (kg/m3)

It is common to use the density of water at 4 Deg C (39oF) as reference - at this point the density of water is at
the highest - 1000 kg/m3 or 62.4 lb/ft3.

*specific gravity of mild steel
=DENSITY of mild steel/density of water.
*SG mild steel
= mild steel / H2O
=7,861.093 kg/m^3/1000 kg/m^3
=7.861093
=7.86 UPTO 2 decimal
OR
*SG mild steel
