Packaging, in three dimensions

The supply units we quote this product in. Each is drawn to fill the frame, with its real dimensions shown underneath — switch between them to see what a quantity actually arrives as.

Drag to rotate

Every drum weight we quote — 170, 200, 250 and 270 kg — ships in the same 200 litre steel drum. The difference is density, not size.

Molecular structure

Drag to rotate

Heavy atoms and bonding are shown. Hydrogen positions are omitted rather than approximated, as in a skeletal formula.
