Copper Wire Weight Calculator: Estimate Mass for Electrical Projects

Calculate Copper Wire Weight

Input the wire's cross-sectional diameter.
Enter the total length of the wire.
kg/m³
Typical density for pure copper. Can be adjusted for specific alloys.

Easily determine the weight of copper wire for any electrical application. Our online Copper Wire Weight Calculator helps engineers, electricians, and hobbyists accurately estimate the mass of cables, coils, or scrap based on wire diameter, length, and material density. Save time and improve project planning with precise weight calculations, ideal for procurement or material costing.

Formula:

The weight of copper wire is calculated using its volume and density. The formula is:

Weight (kg) = π × (Dm / 2)2 × Lm × ρkg/m³

  • π: Pi (approx. 3.14159)
  • Dm: Wire Diameter in meters
  • Lm: Wire Length in meters
  • ρkg/m³: Copper Density in kilograms per cubic meter (standard: 8960 kg/m³)
