Do you want to know how much the aluminum parts weigh, or do you want hunks of metal to use as dead weight?

My bad; I meant I would like to know how much the parts weigh… . I guess I’ll have to take a trip to the post office sometime soon with a bunch of parts, haha.

My teacher has been asking this for ages! Less money spent on unneeded aluminum, more funding for other parts!

You have made a lot of teams of happy, hehe.

To a good first approximation, they are all contain 40% of the mass of their steel counterparts.

Obviously this isn’t an absolute weight, but the ratio is useful to know. I will weigh some items on my home scale and post the results.

Jordan/Folks - Here are the values I got from my scale - Enjoy - Blake


25 x 2x2x0  Angle     =  49 grams
35 x 2x2x0  Angle     =  71 grams
25 x 1x2x1  Channel   =  51 grams
35 x 1x2x1  Channel   =  73 grams
25 x 1x5x1  Channel   =  96 grams
35 x 1x5x1  Channel   = 137 grams
25 x 1x2x0  Chassis   =  37 grams
25 x 1x0x0  Plate/Bar =  13.5 grams
25 x 5x0x0  Plate     =  65.5 grams
