Calculate copper weight in kg, lb or grams for busbar, flat bar, sheet, wire, rod or pipe from its dimensions, or find the length for a target weight.
Copper Weight Formulas
The following formulas describe nominal copper mass using consistent units. The calculator supports rectangular stock, round solid stock and round tube; the other section formulas are background only.
Copper Flat Sheet Weight Formula = L * W * T * d
Copper Round Bar Weight Formula = pi * D2/4 * L * d
Copper Square Hollow Tube Weight Formula = [W2-(W-2T)2] * L * d
Copper Round Hollow Tube Weight Formula = pi * (R2-r2) * L * d
Copper Square Angle Weight Formula = [W2-(W-T)2] * L * d
Copper T bar Weight Formula = (W*T + (H-T)*T)* L * d
Copper C Channel Weight Formula = (2*W*T+Hin*T)* L * d
Variables used in these equations:
- L is the length
- W is the width
- H is the height
- Hin is the inner height (for the C channel)
- d is the density
- D is the diameter
- T is the thickness
- R is the outer radius
- r is the inner radius
The calculator converts dimensions to meters and uses a pure-copper reference density of 8,960 kg/mยณ (8.96 g/cmยณ).
What is the density of Copper?
The pure-copper reference density used here is 8.96 g/cmยณ, approximately 0.323700536 lb/inยณ. Alloy composition and temperature can change density.
