Density of Common Copper Alloys

While pure copper has a density of approximately 8960 kg/m3 at room temperature, the density of copper alloys varies between 7700 and 8900 kg/m3, depending on the specific composition of the alloy.

The following tables provide a comprehensive list of density values for different copper alloys at standard room temperature (approximately 20°C or 68°F) and 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
