What is the density of ASTM A572 Grade 50?

7850 kg/m³ — the figure the weight calculators on this site use for ASTM A572 Grade 50. The value is ArcelorMittal / ASTM & EN standard references’s.

What are the mechanical properties of ASTM A572 Grade 50?

Tensile ≥ 450 MPa, Yield ≥ 345 MPa — ASTM A572 Grade 50, Plate/Shapes, As rolled. Those are the standard’s requirements; the mill test certificate governs the metal delivered.

What is ASTM A572 Grade 50 equivalent to?

S355JR. Equivalents are approximate, never identical — compare the certificate against your specification before substituting.

Mechanical properties

Mechanical properties
Standard	Product form	Condition / temper	Test temperature	Yield	Tensile	Notes
ASTM A572 Grade 50	Plate/Shapes	As rolled	20 °C	Yield ≥ 345 MPa	≥ 450 MPa	Minimum strengths; verify grade/product-specific elongation.

Each row is one standard, one product form and one condition — the values do not transfer across rows. A blank cell means the standard sets no requirement.

Reference values from the cited standards. They describe what the standard requires, not a specific heat of material; the mill test certificate governs what is delivered.

Typical applications

High-strength structural steel
