To work out the mass of wire you need to know its volume. The wire is circular so that volume would just be the cross sectional area (pi * r^2) multiplied by the length of wire. Lets call the length L.

The equation is then volume = pi * radius^2 * L.

To get the mass of the wire we now multiply this equation by denstiy of the wire; that is how much the wire weighs per volume. Assuming the wire is steel this would be around 800Kg/m^3. So what you want to do is work out the volume as above, then multiply by 800, making sure that your units are consistant....ie lenght and radius in metres.

You do not have to calculate the wire diameter, the manufacturer of the wire determines what the diameter is going to be for the specific size and current carrying capacity.

How do you calculate electric cable copper weight?

wire weight = material_density * 3.14159 * (0.5 * cable_diameter)² * cable_length example for copper with 152 meter length: ---------------------------------------- material_density for copper = 8960 kg/m³ cable_diameter=0.006 meter cable_length=152 meter weight of wire = 8960 kg/m³ * 3.14159 * (0.5 * 0.006)² * 152 = 38.51 kg lenght and diameter must be calculated in "meters" density must be in "kg/m³"

What is the SWL of FSWR?

Flexible steel wire rope (FSWR) To calculate the SWL in kilograms of FSWR square the rope diameter (D) in millimetres (mm) and multiply by 8. Formula: SWL (kg) = D2(mm) x 8 For example: Rope dia (D) = 12 mm SWL(kg) =D2 (mm)x8 = D (mm) x D (mm) x 8 = 12 x 12 x 8 = 1152 kg SWL (t) = 1.15 tonnes The above equation can be reversed to calculate the diameter (D) in millimetres of FSWR needed to lift a given load. To do this, divide the load (L) in kilograms by 8 and find the square root of the result. Formula: D(mm) = √L(kg) 8 For example: Load = 1152 kg D (mm) = √1152 ÷ 8 = √144 = 12 (mm) Therefore a FSWR sling of at least 12 mm in diameter is required to lift a 1152 kg load for a straight lift.
