what volume is 1kg of lead?

[The_blue]

anyone know?

cubic cm or ml

Oh and anyone know the melting temp?

 

[Borris]

I would turn it up to 11

I would say pretty loud considering its heavy metal

 

[Indy500]

Melting point is about 325C (A-level Chemistry )

for the win

Density of solid [/kg m-3]: 11340 - I'll leave the math to you

 

[Phog]

Density = 11.34 g/cm^3

1000/11.34 = 88.1cm^3?

88cm3... so about the third of size of a can of coke?

Thanks folk


i feel some back garden smelting it going to be happening

I reckon smaller

 

[William]

I reckon smaller

27/100ths then!

Why not just make 10 louder?

Just get a cheapo milk pan from a £1 shop or charity shop and put it on the cooker dude (gas works a lot better than electric btw) and use an old teaspoon to clear the impurities from the surface before you pour.

Make sure whatever you're casting it into is strong and well supported too - if it breaks or flexes the potential consequences don't bear thinking about.
And put some small pieces of scrap lead into the mould before you pour - it mixes in with no problems and helps cool down the rest of the metal more quickly.

Well, it's one louder, isn't it?

It's not ten.

This 10 11 thing is stupid. Clever people have real amps that go from -10 to +10 on the equalisers, then 0-100 on the volume. You only really need 0-45 on mine because anything else will probably rattle the windows out.

 

[Borris]

But it goes to 11.
