Methodology
Copper density and calculation basis
Evidence status: publishable.
Representative room-temperature density of elemental copper; not an alloy value.
temperature: Room temperature (density glossary)
composition: Elemental copper
Source basis: Royal Society of Chemistry, Periodic Table: copper. Fact box: density; glossary defines density at room temperature. https://periodic-table.rsc.org/element/29/copper Applicability: adopted-context.
No purity percentage or exact density temperature supplied.
For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.00233671 ton (US) per cup (US).
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
