Lead in the form of brick is the most widely used for weight such as ballast, as well as for shielding. They can be obtained in numerous sizes and shapes.

A standard size is a 2" thick x 4" wide x 8" long lead brick which weighs 26.25/lbs.

The unique design of the interlocking brick permits butting surfaces to mate in such a way as to prevent any radiation leakage. Typical sizes of interlocking bricks are 8 or 12 inches long and 1 to 2-1/2 inches thick.

The standard size of square brick (non-interlocking) is usually 2" x 4" x 8". However, both types can be manufactured in a wide range of sizes to meet any requirement.

Applications

• Lead Bricks are used for heavy shielding.
• Lead Bricks as ballast
• Useful for Counterweights
• Radiation shielding to protect personnel and equipment.
• Lead Bricks may be stacked to match shield thickness to specific requirements.
• Lead Bricks are used in Nuclear and Medical Radiation Shielding
