What density is used for copper?

The default density is 8.96 g/cm³ (8960 kg/m³), which applies to commercially pure copper (C10100, C11000). You can enter a custom density if your alloy differs — for example, brass (CuZn30) is approximately 8.50 g/cm³.

How is the cross-sectional area calculated?

For an equal-leg angle, the formula is Area = (2 × Leg − t) × t, where Leg is the leg width and t is the thickness. This correctly subtracts the corner region that would otherwise be counted twice.

Does this calculator support unequal-leg copper angles?

This tool is optimized for equal-leg angles. For unequal-leg sections, use the general formula Area = (Leg A + Leg B − t) × t and adjust accordingly.

What units are supported?

You can work in millimeters / meters / kilograms (metric) or inches / feet / pounds (imperial). Switch the unit system with the toggle and results update on the next calculation.

What is linear weight and why is it useful?

Linear weight (kg/m or lb/ft) is the weight per unit length. It is the most practical value when ordering stock lengths, since you can multiply it by the number of meters (or feet) needed to get the total weight quickly.
