About 60% of all copper and copper alloys consumed in the USA are used because of the electrical conductivity of the metal, and about 80% of that is wire and cable.

So we assume that 20% of the weight of copper wire is actually copper. Here is a table of the weights of AWG/mm2 legnth cable wire with weights of different sizes of cable wire.

If I need more information please let me know!! I am happy to help. If I have answered your questions, please accept and leave positive feedback so I can continue helping others. Thanks!

HiCustomer

There is a list at http://mdmetric.com/tech/wirewt.htm which might be more helpful. It has weights per length for standard wire sizes.

Actually, you could make your own table: The density of copper is 8.96 gm/mm^3

For any diameter of wire - the cross sectional area would be calculated by the formula for area of a circle

radius=diameter/2
Area = r^2 * pi

To calculate volume you multiply by the length

If each unit was measured in mm (diameter and length) you would then get mm^3 as your volume. To get weight in grams - multiply by the density.

You could develop a spreadsheet that would automatically do the calculation for you, including any conversion you wanted from feet/meters or pound/kg

While I could develop such a table - the table that the other expert gave you really provides the information.

The link to the information is

In the details provided on this page this weight is WITHOUT insulation

Here is another table which gives the weight of solid and strand type with weight per 1000 feet

Let me know if these are what you are looking for

OK...I'll work on that over the next day - It will take a day or so

Here is an Word document with the information in table format (done in Excel)

If you print this and laminate it - you could carry it with you, and easily look up the weights

IMPORTANT - The diameter is the diameter of EACH CORE - NOT the the total diameter of the bundle. In cases where the cores were not equal in diameter - you would add the diameter of each core from the 1 core column

FamilyPhysician39090.1264729514

In the one I gave you: The first column is diameter in 1/1000's of an inch (MILS), the second column is the diameter in MM.

The 3,4,5 columns are the weight of 100 feet of single, double, and triple core
Colums 6,7,8 are the weight of 100 feet single, double, triple core in KG

I can convert this to kg per 100 meter if you would prefer, and only use the diameter in mm only. I can also extend the diameter to higher amounts if you want.

Here it is in pdf format

There was an error on the first one - this one has corrected that error. Sorry for the confusion.

HiCustomer

I'm improving my Macromedia flash skills and I've created a nice little calculator for you.You can see it here.

Hi Marc,

120 mm^2 has a diameter of about 6.2 mm. A diameter of 120 mm gives an area of about 45 238 mm^2.

I am using diameter (mm across the copper core) not area (mm^2) for the calculator. This is so you can use enter the values in directly from the measurements and don't need to calculate anything first. If you have a handheld computer (PocketPC for example) with Flash you could put the calculator on there and with a micrometer and tape measure, you would have a portable tool.

I could change the calculator to use area if you need that.

I think this is what you need

While proofreading the link I gave you - I noticed that I had prepared the table correctly except I included 90 instead of 95 as your requested.

Here is the table with the values your requested

Peter's calculator will give you the same values as well if you want to use the online calculator as well.

Thank you for using JustAnswer.
