SUMMARY

The specific gravity of brass ranges from 8.4 to 8.7 kg/m3. This measurement is defined as the ratio of the density of brass to the density of water at 4 degrees Celsius, which is 1.0 x 103 kg/m3. Specific gravity is a dimensionless quantity, providing a direct comparison of densities.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of density and its measurement
  • Knowledge of specific gravity and its definition
  • Familiarity with the properties of brass
  • Basic principles of fluid mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the density of various alloys and metals
  • Explore the applications of specific gravity in material science
  • Learn about the effects of temperature on density measurements
  • Investigate the role of specific gravity in buoyancy calculations
USEFUL FOR

Material scientists, engineers, and anyone involved in metallurgy or fluid mechanics will benefit from this discussion on the specific gravity of brass.

Does anyone know the specific gravity of brass?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Did you try google?
 
The specific gravity of a substance(brass in your case) is the ration of its density to the density of water at 4 degrees C, which is 1.0 x 10^3 Kg/m^3. (the size of the kilogram was originally defined to make the density of water 1.0 x 10^3 Kg/m^3 at 4 degrees C). By definition specific gravity is a dimensionless quantity.

Anyways... specific gravity of brass is 8.4-8.7 kg/m^3. Hope that helps
