Heavy gauge lead for shielding with a high Pb equivalent, and for industrial counterweights and ballast.
Lead plates are used as radiation shielding and in other industrial applications, above all as counterweights.
Standard thicknesses are 10, 25 and 50 mm, and on request we produce plates up to 100 mm. Width can be up to 1,300 mm. Cutting to specified dimensions is agreed individually. For appearance and hygiene, plates can be supplied with a coloured coating.
We can also produce plates laminated on one or both sides with aluminium, steel or stainless steel.
| Thickness | Width | Length | Weight per plate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mm | 1,000 mm | 1,000 mm | 113.4 kg |
| 20 mm | 1,000 mm | 1,000 mm | 226.8 kg |
| 25 mm | 1,000 mm | 1,000 mm | 283.5 kg |
| 50 mm | 1,000 mm | 1,000 mm | 567.0 kg |
Weights calculated for a lead density of 11.34 kg/dm³, excluding rolling tolerance.
Lead weighs 11.34 kg per cubic decimetre. The weight determines how a consignment is packed and what the transport costs.
We cut to any size on waterjet machines, and for thinner gauges with a circular saw made for lead. The cutting tolerance is ±1.0 mm.
Besides cutting we offer machining - turning, boring and milling - and metal forming: folding, bending and profiling.
The type of material, the thickness and the dimensions are enough. If you need a non-standard shape, send a drawing - we accept .dxf files and dimensioned sketches.
