Copper C Channel Weight Calculator:

Enter the values of width, W_(cm), flange thickness, T_1(cm), height, H_(cm), web thickness, T_2(cm) and length, L_(cm) to determine the value of weight of an copper C channel, W_(g).

Copper C Channel Weight Formula:

A Copper C channel is a structural component with a cross-sectional shape resembling the letter “C,” which allows it to support loads effectively while maintaining a relatively low weight.

The channel’s design features two flanges connected by a web, which provides structural rigidity while minimizing material usage.

The weight of a Copper C channel depends on its dimensions, including width, height, flange thickness, and web thickness, as well as the density of the copper material.

Copper’s density is relatively high, which means that a Copper C channel will be heavier compared to channels made from less dense materials of the same volume. The weight calculation reflects how the material’s mass and the channel’s dimensions interact to determine the overall weight.

The weight of an copper C channel, W_(g) in grams is the sum of twice the product of the width, W_(cm) in centimetres and flange thickness, T_1(cm) in centimetres, plus the product of the height, H_(cm) in centimetres and web thickness, T_2(cm) in centimetres, all multiplied by the length, L_(cm) in centimetres and the material density, d_(g/cm3) in grams per cubic centimetres.

Weight of an copper C channel, W_(g) = (2 * W_(cm) * T_1(cm) + H_(cm) * T_2(cm)) * L_(cm) * d_(g/cm3)

W_(g) = weight in grams, g.

W_(cm) = width in centimetres, cm.

T_1(cm) = flange thickness in centimetres, cm.

T_2(cm) =  web thickness in centimetres, cm.

H_(cm) = height in centimetres, cm.

L_(cm) = length in centimetres, cm.

d_(g/cm3) = density in grams per cubic centimetres, g/cm³.

Copper C Channel Weight Calculation:

1. A Copper C channel has a width of 8 cm, a flange thickness of 0.5 cm, a height of 10 cm, a web thickness of 0.3 cm, and a length of 150 cm. The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm³. Calculate the weight of the C channel.

Given: W_(cm) = 8cm, T_1(cm) = 0.5cm, T_2(cm) = 0.3cm, L_(cm) = 150cm, H_(cm) = 10cm,

d_(g/cm3) = 8.96g/cm³.

Weight of an copper C channel, W_(g) = (2 * W_(cm) * T_1(cm) + H_(cm) * T_2(cm)) * L_(cm) * d_(g/cm3)

W_(g) = (2 * 8 * 0.5 + 10 * 0.3) * 150 * 8.96

W_(g) = (8 + 3) * 150 * 8.96

W_(g) = 11 * 150 *8.96

W_(g) = 14784g.

2. A Copper C channel has a width of 6 cm, a flange thickness of 0.4 cm, a height of 8 cm, a web thickness of 0.25 cm, and weighs 7,776 g. The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm³. Calculate the length of the C channel.

Given: W_(cm) = 6cm, T_1(cm) = 0.4cm, T_2(cm) = 0.25cm, W_(g) = 7776g, H_(cm) = 8cm,

d_(g/cm3) = 8.96g/cm³.

Weight of an copper C channel, W_(g) = (2 * W_(cm) * T_1(cm) + H_(cm) * T_2(cm)) * L_(cm) * d_(g/cm3)

L_(cm) = W_(g) / (2 * W_(cm) * T_1(cm) + H_(cm) * T_2(cm)) * d_(g/cm3)

L_(cm) = 7776 / (2 * 6 * 0.4 + 8 * 0.25) * 8.96

L_(cm) = 7776 / 6.8 * 8.96

L_(cm) = 127.5cm.
