What is the density of S235JR?

7850 kg/m³ — the figure the weight calculators on this site use for S235JR. The value is ArcelorMittal / ASTM & EN standard references’s.

What are the mechanical properties of S235JR?

Tensile 360–510 MPa, Yield ≥ 235 MPa, Elongation min ≥ 26 % — EN 10025-2, Plate/Sections, As rolled. Those are the standard’s requirements; the mill test certificate governs the metal delivered.

What is S235JR equivalent to?

ASTM A36. Equivalents are approximate, never identical — compare the certificate against your specification before substituting.

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.
