£ per kg: 1 m of each size weighs its cross-section × 1 m × 8.96 g/cm³, using the density published on our Copper C101 page. For Ø25 mm round that is π × (12.5 mm)² × 1 m × 8.96 g/cm³ = 4.398 kg.

What these numbers are. Online list prices for metal and plastic bar — round, flat, square and hex, in the sizes shown — per metre, ex VAT and excluding delivery, as shown on each stockist's own website on the date given. We read them automatically each week. History before September 2026 is Ø25 mm round bar only: it comes from dated Internet Archive snapshots of the same product pages, and an archived price is used only if that page also shows it is ex VAT. Other sizes start at their first weekly reading. Shops marked retail sell mainly to the public and are usually dearer than a stockholder for the same bar. These are not quotations, and an account or trade price will usually be lower. Each figure links to the page it was read from. A reading we couldn't take with certainty is left out, never estimated.
