Formula
length × width × thickness × density
Result unit: kg

Weight = L × W × T × ρ. Copper density = 8960 kg/m³. For busbars and electrical conductors.

Introduction

Calculate copper weight for busbars, electrical conductors, sheets, and copper parts. Copper density is 8960 kg/m³ — heavier than steel but with superior electrical conductivity.

Calculation Example

A 1000mm × 100mm × 10mm copper busbar weighs 8.96 kg.

Inputs: length=1000, width=100, thickness=10, density=8960
Result: 8.96 kg

Engineering Applications

  • •Electrical busbars
  • •Transformer windings
  • •Plumbing components
  • •Heat exchangers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is copper density?

Pure copper is 8960 kg/m³. Brass is 8500 kg/m³, bronze is 8800 kg/m³.

How do I size a copper busbar?

Busbar sizing depends on current carrying capacity (amps). As a rule of thumb, 1A per mm² of cross-section is conservative for continuous duty.
