Wire Rod Weight Calculator
Based on the search results and the query, I’ve created a table summarizing different types of wire materials and their densities, which is crucial for calculating wire rod weight. Here’s the table:
Wire Material | Density (g/cm³) |
---|---|
Copper | 8.96 |
Aluminum | 2.7 |
Steel | 7.85 |
Gold | 19.32 |
Silver | 10.5 |
Brass | 8.6 |
Bronze | 8.85 |
Zinc | 7.14 |
Nickel | 8.908 |
Lead | 11.34 |
Titanium | 4.506 |
Stainless Steel | 7.8 – 8.0 |
Platinum | 21.45 |
To calculate the weight of a wire rod, you would use the formula:Weight = Volume * DensityWhere Volume = π * (diameter/2)² * lengthRemember that:
- The diameter and length should be in consistent units (e.g., cm if using g/cm³ for density).
- Different alloys of the same metal may have slightly different densities.
- Coatings or insulation on wires will affect the overall weight.
- For precise calculations, always refer to the specific material datasheet provided by the manufacturer.
This table covers a wide range of wire materials used in various applications, from electrical wiring to jewelry making and industrial uses.
