Wire Rod Weight Calculator

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 MaterialDensity (g/cm³)
Copper8.96
Aluminum2.7
Steel7.85
Gold19.32
Silver10.5
Brass8.6
Bronze8.85
Zinc7.14
Nickel8.908
Lead11.34
Titanium4.506
Stainless Steel7.8 – 8.0
Platinum21.45

To calculate the weight of a wire rod, you would use the formula:Weight = Volume * DensityWhere Volume = π * (diameter/2)² * lengthRemember that:

  1. The diameter and length should be in consistent units (e.g., cm if using g/cm³ for density).
  2. Different alloys of the same metal may have slightly different densities.
  3. Coatings or insulation on wires will affect the overall weight.
  4. 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.
