What is brass density?
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Its density is usually quoted around 8.4–8.7 g/cm³, depending on composition. Cartridge brass (e.g. C260) is often taken near 8.5 g/cm³ for quick estimates.
How to calculate brass weight?
Weight = volume × density. Express volume in cm³ and density in g/cm³ to get grams; divide by 1000 for kg. Rod: V = πr²h. Sheet: V = L×W×T. Pipe: V = π(R²−r²)h. Block: V = L×W×H.
Uses of brass
Machined fittings, valves, gears, decorative trim, heat exchanger tubes, and electrical connectors—anywhere corrosion resistance and machinability matter.

FAQ
- How to calculate brass weight?
- Measure dimensions, compute volume in cm³, multiply by density in g/cm³, then convert g to kg if needed.
- What is density of brass?
- Typically about 8.5 g/cm³ for many brasses; use your supplier datasheet for exact values.
- How to calculate metal cost?
- Multiply total weight in kg by your ₹/kg rate; add waste percentage and transport for job quotes.
- What is brass used for?
- Hardware, musical instruments, plumbing, and industrial components where durability and workability are important.
