Best Answer

Depending on where you look, or the grade of steel that you are talking about can change this value. A density of 7.88 is often quoted for mild steel. If you add alloying elements such as tungsten, chrome or manganese to improve the steel, the density will change. So, the density of steel can vary between 7.75 and 8.05."

Brass is a name of alloy composed of two elements: copper and zinc. Each of those has different density and since their ratio in brass may vary, also the brass density may be different.

How much does brass weigh per gallon?

First, two things. 1) Since brass is a solid at standard temperature and pressure, it is unusual to specify its density in fluid volume units, such as gallons. 2) Brass is an alloy comprising differing amounts of different metals, so its density must be specified as a range. Brass is about 8.5 times denser than water. It has a density of 8.4 to 8.75 grams per cubic centimeter. That translates to 70 to 73 pounds per US gallon.
