Heavy Metals
Journal Entry: Fri Feb 1, 2008, 6:09 PM
Watching Discovery channel right now, some show on how things are made and they are talking about aluminum foil, which starts out as an slab measuring 1.5'x5'x14' (.43m x 1.5m x 4.3m) and weighting in at about 8 tons (7.5 metric tons)!
That's heavy, nearly 16,000 lbs, but I immediately thought out loud, what is that it? Only 8 tons? Wow, aluminum is really light! Well, duh, but....
Okay, I am a structural steel fitter and deal with some heavy stuff. A slab of steel that size would weigh in at over 25 tons! or about 3 times heavier.
sigh......
Its the weekend, I need to forget about work.
