[QUOTE="GSDykes, post: 2255165, member: 73321"]This link takes you to a page which demonstrates the simple math used to calculate the SG for alloys. There are various methods (as Kurt shared with me his preferred method), this method below uses the "reciprocal" method: [url="http://www.tmtpages.com/specific-gravity.htm"]www.tmtpages.com/specific-gravity.htm[/url] Believe me, going out to 5 or even 6 decimal places can increase accuracy! Also below (again) the link to my 12 page paper on World Coin Alloys and Their Specific Gravities - (which is always available and up to date) [url="http://www.Biblical-data.org/GSDykes_specific_gravity_tests.pdf"]www.Biblical-data.org/GSDykes_specific_gravity_tests.pdf[/url] Gary in Washington[/QUOTE]
