Brass Weight Calculator

Brass has a density of 524 lb/ft³ (8.73 g/cm³ or 8,730 kg/m³). This can vary slightly depending on the specific alloy composition, as brass is a mixture of copper and zinc in varying proportions.

Calculate the volume using πr²h (where r is radius and h is length), then multiply by brass density (524 lb/ft³). Make sure all dimensions are in the same unit—convert inches to feet if needed by dividing by 12.

Yes, different brass alloys have slightly different densities. Yellow brass (65% copper, 35% zinc) is around 524 lb/ft³, while red brass (85% copper, 15% zinc) is denser at about 548 lb/ft³ due to higher copper content.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but generally plates are thicker (over 0.25 inches) while sheets are thinner. Both are calculated the same way: length × width × thickness × density.

A 1-inch cube of brass weighs approximately 0.303 pounds (4.85 ounces or 137 grams). This is calculated from the volume (1 cubic inch = 0.000579 cubic feet) multiplied by brass density of 524 lb/ft³.
