How it works

Given the wire diameter and weight, the calculator determines the length using the material density.

Formula:
Length = Weight / (Density × π (d/2)²)

Supported Gauge Standards

  • BWG – Birmingham Wire Gauge
  • AWG – American Wire Gauge
  • SWG – Standard Wire Gauge (British)

Quick Tips

  • Click any gauge button to instantly set the diameter.
  • Switch between gauge systems using the tabs.
  • Enter a custom density if your material isn't listed.
