**Lucas-Milhaupt Materials Calculators**  
Materials questions? We can help.

When ordering alloys, you may have the dimensions or length of a braze joint, but many products are sold by weight. How much should you order? Or, conversely, you may know the mass/weight, but need the length.

Our calculators provide a fast and easy method to correlate length and mass.![](https://blog.lucasmilhaupt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LucasMilhaupt_August2017/Calc_Blog%202.jpg?width=120&height=104&name=Calc_Blog%202.jpg) This is helpful for estimating quantities, plus pricing and shipping weight.

Two calculators are available-one for **wire products** and one for **strip products**. Simply enter measurements for mass or length, and let our calculators do the work.

Try the Lucas-Milhaupt [materials calculators](http://www.lucasmilhaupt.com/en-US/knowledgebase/calculators/) today, and add the page to your Favorites for fast and easy reference.
