Standard copper and bronze caskets - made of 32 oz sheets of wrought metal (one square foot of a copper or bronze sheet weighing 32 ounces) have an (empty) weight starting around 200 lbs. More expensive copper and bronze caskets made of 48 oz (and in rare cases of 64 oz or 96 oz) sheets as well as caskets having a double lid usually weigh between 300 and 400 lbs. Copper deposit caskets (caskets made by electrolytically depositing copper molecules upon a casket form usually made of sheet copper) have a weight between 600 and 800 lbs. Cast bronze caskets (made from molten bronze poured into a casket mold) weigh between 1,000 and 1,200 lbs.

Is heavy Bronze the real Bronze?
Heavy Bronze typically refers to a specific type of bronze alloy that contains a higher proportion of tin or other metals, resulting in increased density and strength. While it may possess superior properties for certain applications, it is not the standard definition of bronze, which is generally an alloy of copper and tin. Therefore, while heavy bronze is a form of bronze, it is not synonymous with the traditional definition of bronze itself.
What Elements on the periodic table are found in a fishing weight?
Lead, historically, was used for this purpose. It is relatively cheap and heavy, and does not rust as does iron. Of course, there are a variety of dense metals that would work. The lead weight is sometimes attached to a bronze pin. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, used for its resistance to the corrosive effects of water and salt water.
Do heavy metals like copper sulphate influence seed growth?
Yes.
Why are planes not made from copper alone?
Planes are not made from copper alone because copper is heavy, can be prone to corrosion, and lacks the necessary strength and stiffness required for structural components of an aircraft. Instead, airplanes are made from lighter and stronger materials such as aluminum, titanium, and composite materials to ensure optimal performance and safety.

What is the difference in price between a copper deposit casket and a bronze cast casket?
The question is somewhat difficult to answer because copper deposited casket were manufactured until the 1980s only. Cast bronze and copper deposited caskets are the most expensive and the most heavy metal caskets available. While cast bronze caskets weigh between 1,000 and 1,200 lbs, copper deposit caskets have a weight between 600 and 800 lbs. The price difference between these caskets (which were manufactured by the Boyertown Burial Casket Company and by the National Casket Company of Boston) in the 1970s was as follows: cast bronze casket had a wholesale price between US $ 15,000 and 19,000 while copper deposited caskets cost between $ 5,000 and 6,000 wholesale (plus approximately $ 1,000 for an optional silver plated exterior).
Is there a difference in material and price between a solid copper casket and a copper deposit casket?
Yes, there is a difference, and it's a big one. Solid copper caskets are made from sheets of wrought copper which usually have a weight of 32 ounces per square foot (standard caskets) or 48 oz, in rare cases even 64 oz or more. The typical weight of a sheet copper casket is between 200 and 300 lbs. 32 oz solid copper caskets are available from $ 2,000 upwards (Online casket retailers). Copper deposit caskets are produced in a time consuming process in which molecules of copper are deposited upon a casket form (usually made of 48oz copper sheets). Copper deposit caskets weigh between 600 and 800 lbs because the typical thickness of their walls is about 1/8 of an inch (3 mm). The cost of copper deposit casket is so high that they were manufactured until the 1980s only (by the Boyertown Burial Casket Co. and by the National Casket Company of Boston). At that time, a copper deposit casket was about a dozen times more expensive than a standard 32oz solid copper casket. The optional silver plating of the exterior would add another 25% to the cost of the casket. This price was exceeded only by cast bronze caskets (weighing between 1,000 and 1,200 lbs), which in the 1970s were about three times more expensive than copper deposit caskets. As mentioned, copper deposit caskets are no longer in production. The closest modern equivalent probably would be the 300 lbs heavy 48oz thermo-deposited bronze casket called "Marquis", manufactured by the York-Hoover Company; the casket costs about ten times the price of a standard 32 oz bronze coffin. The most famous copper deposit caskets were made by the National Casket Company. These copper deposit caskets had no joints or welding seams nor did the attachments of the handles penetrate the casket walls. National seamless copper deposit casket were used for the funerals of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (# 21260 bronze plated), William Randolph Hearst (# 21200 as triple lid inner glass sealer), Elijah Muhammad (silver plated model # 21200 as glassless double lid sealer) Elvis Presley (# 21200) and Aaliyah Haughton (# 20761 ornamental corner design, silver plated). The Boyertown Burial Casket Company manufactured several copper deposit designs, for example a copper deposited bronze casket (model # 2471) which had a complete solid bronze inner casket inside of it. The casket had a triple lid (outer and middle metal lids and an inner glass lid); the weight was probably around 700 lbs.
Why was Elvis coffin made of copper and weighed 900 pounds?
Elvis was buried in the same type of casket as his mother 20 years before: in a National copper deposit casket. Copper deposit caskets are about three times as heavy as sheet copper casket. Elvis' sopper deposit casket had an empty weight between 600 and 800 lbs.
What companies manufacture or manufactured copper deposit caskets?
Currently, copper deposit caskets are no longer produced in the US. Copper deposit caskets are caskets which - unlike solid copper caskets which are welded from sheets of wrought copper - are made in a time electrolytic process in which copper molecules are deposited upon a casket form which usually is made of 48 oz copper sheets. While sheet copper caskets weigh between 200 and 300 lbs and are available from $ 2,000 upwards (Online casket retailers' price), copper deposit caskets weigh between 600 and 800 lbs (the typical thickness of the casket walls is 1/8 inch respectively 3mm) and cost up to a dozen times more than standard 32 oz sheet copper caskets. Only cast bronze caskets are more heavy (between 1,000 and 1,200 lbs) and around three times more expensive (currently between $ 160,000 and 270,000). Until the 1980s, copper deposit caskets were manufactured by the Boyertown Burial Casket Company and by the National Casket Company of Massachusetts. The famous National Seamless Copper Deposit caskets had no joints or welding seams nor did the attachments of the handles penetrate the casket walls. The caskets were offered in several designs including a heavily rounded corner design and an urn shaped one. A National Seamless Copper Deposit Casket was used, for example, for the burial of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (a bronze plated round corner model # 21260), for the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst (a triple lid round corner design), for Elvis Presley (a round corner model # 21200) for the religious leader Eliajah Muhammad (a silver plated round corner double lid model #21200) and for the burial of singer Aaliyah Haughton (a silver plated model # 20761 with lavish ornamental corners). Boyertown also manufactured several designs. One of their deposit caskets (the model # 2471) was a double walled copper deposited 48 oz bronze unit, featuring an outer copper deposited 48oz bronze casket and another inner solid bronze casket; this luxury model had a hermetically sealed triple lid: the outer one was made of deposited copper and undivided, the middle one had divided panels made from bronze and the innermost lid was an undivided full length oval plate glass panel. The brass bar handles were attached in such a way that they did not penetrate the wall of the outer casket. The casket was available with either a statuary bronze finish or with silver plated exterior. Probably the closest modern equivalent to a copper deposit casket is the "Marquis" model of the York-Matthews Company, a thermo-deposit 48oz bronze casket, weighing around 310 lbs and offered at prices between $ 25,000 and 38,000.

What company manufactured Aaliyah's casket?
Batesville The answer "Batesville" needs correction: Aaliyah was buried in one of the last seamless solid copper deposit caskets (units made from electrolytically deposited copper instead of welded sheets of wrought copper) manufactured by the (former) National Casket Co. of Boston. This was a very exclusive casket, extremely heavy (over 600 lbs - two to three times the weight of a standard sheet copper casket) and extraordinarily expensive - ten to twelve times as much as a standard copper sheet casket. Aaliya's casket cost even an extra 20% to 25% more than a "simple" copper deposit casket because it had a silver plated exterior. Her ornamental National No. 20761 model was a double lid casket featuring an undivided outer top and an inner divided inner lid. The interior was of hand tufted velvet.
Why are copper caskets only offered in 32oz copper and not 48oz copper?
There have been also a few 64 oz copper caskets around (for example one by the former Chicago Casket Company). In addition to that, there were the copper deposit caskets in production until the end of the 1970s by the National Casket Company of Boston and by the Boyertown Burial Casket Company. These caskets can be compared to 96 oz sheet copper caskets. While solid copper caskets are welded (or soldered) from sheets of wrought copper, copper deposit caskets are made in a time consuming electrolytic process by which molecules of copper are deposit upon a casket form which usually consists of 48 oz (ounces per square foot) copper or bronze sheets. This provides the casket with extra strength and a very smooth and untarnished surface without welding seams or burns. Copper deposit caskets ususally have a wall thickness of 1/8" (3mm - about twice as thick as 48oz copper sheets) resulting in an empty weight of approximately 600 to 800 lbs, while solid copper caskets weigh between 200 and 300 lbs. The main reason for (currently) producing 32oz and 48oz copper caskets only is probably the more affordable price. At the end of the 1970s, the wholesale price of a copper deposit casket was between $ 5,000 and 6,000 (plus about 1,000 for an optional silver plated exterior), while 32 oz solid copper caskets were available from around $ 500 wholesale already. Thus, the price of a copper deposit casket was about a dozen times that of the lowest priced solid copper sheet casket.
How much does this casket cost?
Prices vary from country to country. In the United States, the cheapest wooden caskets (like cloth covered particle board coffins) start at prices around $ 500. Cardboard caskets are even cheaper. The most expensive wooden casket is currently (in 2014) Batesville's (Marsellus) "Masterpiece" solid African Mahogany casket with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $ 38,000, but offered by Online casket retailers already at prices around $ 16,000 (plus 2,000 for an optional carved top). Metal casket prices start around $ 700 for unsealed 20 gauge steel caskets (Online casket retailers), sealed metal caskets being somewhat more expensive. Sheet copper and bronze caskets are available from § 2,000 (Online casket retailers). The most expensive casket on the market is currently a 1,100 lbs heavy cast bronze Pharaoh Sarcophagus manufactured by the York-Matthews Company, offered at a manufacturer's suggested list price of $ 270,000, but sold by discount casket retailers already at a "bargain" price of $ 160,000. The casket prices charged by funeral homes are often considerably higher than those of Online casket retailers.
What is the atomic weight of bronze and if it was in the periodic table where abouts and give atomic weight and translation of bronze into latin please?
It depends on the ratio of the alloy. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. It is two materials mixed together. The periodic table is of elements, so it would not fit on the periodic table. If the bronze is 90% copper and 10% tin, then it would be the relative atomic mass of copper and tin in the correct ratio. It is a small amount heavier than copper as it contains heavy tin. Tin is similar to lead in weight.I thinkbronze isbronzium in Latin.
Which describes the difference between the copper alloys bronze and brass?
Bronze is made from copper and tin, while brass is made from copper and zinc. Bronze is typically a darker, reddish-brown color, while brass is more yellowish in appearance. Bronze is known for its strength and historical significance, while brass is valued for its corrosion resistance and decorative properties.
What kind of casket was President Reagan buried in?
