Unit converter
Convert metric and imperial engineering units: length, mass, force, stress and pressure, temperature, surface roughness, impact energy, density and volume.
02Weight calculator
Estimate the mass of a cast component from its volume or basic shape and the density of the selected alloy from the LOSTWAX materials database.
03Material comparison
Compare the chemical composition limits, minimum mechanical properties and density of two or three cast alloys from the LOSTWAX materials database side by side.
04Tolerance reference
Look up the linear dimensional casting tolerance for a nominal dimension and tolerance grade DCTG 4 to 8 according to ISO 8062-3.

The tools run entirely in your browser; no data is transmitted or stored. They use published conversion factors and the data shown on this website, and they are aids for estimation and orientation. They do not replace the applicable standard, the engineering judgement of the designer or an agreement with the manufacturer.
