⚡ Copper Wire Weight Calculator
Calculate the weight of copper wire based on dimensions, length, and density
📐 Copper Wire Weight Formulas
Weight = Volume × Density
Volume = π × (d/2)² × L
Weight = π × (d/2)² × L × ρ
Weight = π × r² × L × ρ
d = diameter, r = radius, L = length, ρ = density of copper (8.96 g/cm³)
💡 Tips
- Standard copper density is 8.96 g/cm³ at room temperature
- AWG (American Wire Gauge) is the standard for wire sizing in North America
- Larger gauge numbers indicate smaller wire diameters
- For stranded wire, use the overall diameter of the bundle
- Consider temperature effects on density for high-temperature applications
- Add 5-10% extra weight for insulation if calculating insulated wire
