For example a general tabulated value for the bulk modulus of steel gives a sound speed for structural steel of comparing to one tabulated example for stainless steel shows wide variation between the speed for longitudinal and transverse waves with this calculated value somewhere in between.

Collings materials department battelle for a 5 zs transit time the best resolution in the velocity is 2 parts in 10 000 which neglecting density error leads to a 04 un certainty in the elastic constants.
