Wires data

All,

I have taking over a factory, which has over a metric ton of mixed wires, I have workers, sort diffent sizes together, and I took a sample from each, and weigh the piece of wire, then removed the copper from it and weighed the copper, here are the result,



Sample wire 1
Weight: 50.5 grams
Copper: 18.6 grams

Sample wire 2
Weight: 14.8
Copper: 8.3

Sample wire 3 ( coax cable)
Weight: 18.2 grams
Copper: 3.6 grams

Hope this gives you all some ideas about the percentage of copper to the total wire weights.


Thanks
Kevin
