Copper Rod
Round rod in electrolytic tough pitch copper (Cu-ETP). For electrical connection parts, earthing and machined conductive parts; we cut it to the length you need.

Grade and sizes
Cu-ETP
Electrolytic tough pitch copper (min. 99.90% Cu). In the soft condition its electrical conductivity is at least 58 MS/m (100% IACS) and its thermal conductivity about 390 W/mK; it is the standard material for busbars, earthing, switchgear and electrical connection parts. Because it contains up to 0.04% oxygen it can embrittle when heated in a hydrogen-bearing atmosphere, so Cu-DHP is preferred for welded and brazed work.
Rod standard: EN 13601 (electrical) · EN 12163 (general purpose)
- DIAMETER RANGE
- Ø2–160 mm
- CUTTING
- Cut to length; no minimum cut length. Ø15 mm and below are normally supplied in full lengths.
For large-quantity orders, other cut sizes are possible.
Chemical composition, mechanical properties and material certificates are available on request.
Copper rod weight calculator
Calculate the weight from the size, or the length and number of pieces needed for a target weight. Your selections are added to the quote message automatically.
Size: Ø20 × 1000 mm, quantity: 1 (theoretical ~2.80 kg)

- Machined conductive parts
Frequently asked questions
What are the designations for Cu-ETP?
Cu-ETP: EN CW004A, DIN 2.0060, UNS C11000, BS C101. Any of these designations can be used in your enquiry; we will match the correct material.
Why can the invoiced weight differ from the calculated weight?
The calculator gives the theoretical weight. The actual weight varies with dimensional tolerances and cutting allowance; we invoice on the actual weight as weighed.
What information should I send for a quote?
We only need the size (diameter × length), quantity and delivery location. If you fill in the calculator above, these details are added to the WhatsApp message automatically.
