Another interesting and varied week at Nuclead this week among the items we shipped are lead shot, lead gutter outlets and lead balls, here are some of the details.
Nuclead fabricated and shipped 1,000 lbs of lead shot to a police ordnance company in Markham, ON Canada. The shot was fabricated to customer specifications for a new experimental, non-lethal shot gun. Lead Shot consists of small balls of lead of varying sizes, depending on the application. The main use today is as a projectile in shot guns, though lead shot can also be used for lead ballast, stress testing, in dead blow hammers, scuba weight belts and speaker stands. Split lead shot is used in fly fishing. The split shot is crimped over the fishing line to add a measured amount of weight. Lead Shot can also be used in cooling systems due to its relatively high heat capacity and low thermal conductivity at low temperatures.
Nuclead fabricated and shipped 2″ diameter lead gutter outlets that were sold to a general contractor in Sagamore Beach, MA. Lead Gutter Outlets in special lengths or diameters can be fabricated up to 60″ long. We use the highest quality copper lead pipe, dross free, with uniform walls to manufacture our lead outlets.
We also picked and shipped from in stock inventory reclaimed lead balls used for miscellaneous weight in a project for an engineering consultation firm in New York, NY.
