Copper Wire Weight Calculator

Calculate Copper Wire Weight





Formula

To calculate the Copper Wire Weight (CWW):

\[ CWW = \frac{\pi \left(\frac{D}{2}\right)^2}{144} \times L \times D \]

What is the Weight of a Copper Wire?

The weight of a copper wire depends on the thickness (diameter) of the wire and the length of the wire. The thicker and longer the wire is, the more it will weigh. This calculator helps determine the weight based on these parameters using the density of copper.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ CWW = \frac{\pi \left(\frac{0.5}{2}\right)^2}{144} \times 100 \times 559.3545 \]

\[ CWW = \frac{\pi \left(0.25\right)^2}{144} \times 100 \times 559.3545 \]

\[ CWW = \frac{\pi \times 0.0625}{144} \times 100 \times 559.3545 \]

\[ CWW = \frac{0.19635}{144} \times 100 \times 559.3545 \]

\[ CWW = 0.001364 \times 100 \times 559.3545 \]

\[ CWW = 76.30 \text{ lbs} \]

The Copper Wire Weight is 76.30 lbs.
