![]() That's indeed quite a bit, huh? If I take a 1/3lb lead ball to a C-206 flyer and tell him that's how much lead there is in his full tanks, I bet he'll be surprised. nrp wrote: A couple of points: 1) My copy of ASTM spec D910 page 0539 states that the allowable TEL content of 100LL avgas is 2 milliliters per gallon NOT 2 grams per gallon. This means there will be over 1/3rd pound of lead in an 80 gallon tank of 100LL, plus about 1/5th pound of ethlylene dibromide scavenging agent. |

How big do you think that ball would be? Roughly somewhere between the size of a candy jaw breaker and a big marble (I know there is a name for the big ones, but since I lost all my marbles, I can't remember what it is). -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

How big do you think that ball would be? "I know, I know. Me. Me. Call on Me!" http://www.tesarta.com/www/resources...y/weights.html Lead: [Cubic foot = 1,728 cubic inches] 710 lbs / cubic foot 1 lb. = 2.43 cubic inchs of lead x 0.33 lbs. = 0.8 c.i. (cubic inches of lead) http://www.1728.com/diam.htm Volume of a sphere ..."I knew where to look it up!" 1.15 inches [Diameter] seems to be close for 0.8 cubic inches. A 25 cent [Quarter] measures 92% of an inch across. About 15/16 - not quite an inch. (I squinted because I needed 0.92! g) ..92 [Diameter] into the sphere equation = 0.4 c.i. (x 2) = 0.8 c.i. So, two spheres, each with a diameter of a 25 cent [Quarter] = 0.8 cubic inches ...which = 1/3 lb of lead. One lead ball for each side! Montblack Time for Gym.
