About
Copper is a dense, reddish-orange conductive metal that packs roughly 4.67 pounds into a single US cup.
Copper has a density of about 0.32 pounds per cubic inch (8.96 grams per milliliter), making it nearly nine times heavier than water by volume. A single US cup holds approximately 4.67 pounds (2,120 grams) of the solid metal. This makes copper slightly denser than iron or steel, but noticeably lighter than metals like lead or gold.
