Why do some property tables provide a range of values?
With most materials the measurement of mechanical or physical properties is not an exact science and is subject to many variables in terms of test techniques, material conditions and test standards. Consequently, the data we provide in the comprehensive property tables covers a range of values. Also, where the property table covers a generic materials class such as “Brass”, the property table attempts to cover the range of properties available for this class of materials. Remember, the property tables are only intended to be a guide, the advice of the manufacturer or independent expert such always be sought with regards to the suitability of a materials properties in relation to your appliction.
