Frequently Asked Questions
Washing machine weight depends on the manufacturer, washing capacity and whether it is a top-load or front-load model. Large-capacity, front-load washers vary in weight from 155 to 230 pounds, while medium-capacity, front-load machines average 180 pounds. Small-capacity front-loaders weigh in at 145 to 150 pounds.
The smallest capacity top-load machines, measuring 2.1 cubic feet or less, weigh 65 to 70 pounds. The average weight of washers with 3.0 to 4.0 cubic feet of capacity is 135 pounds. Medium-capacity top-loaders range from 140 to 150 pounds, and the largest capacity washers average 160 to 170 pounds. The type of material used to construct the washer and features like steamers or internal heaters also affect the machine’s weight.
Clean metals are those that are free of any other metals or materials. For example a copper pipe that has not fittings or or material on it.
Dirty metals are those that have another material along with the metals we are looking for. For example copper wire with a plastic casing around it would be considered dirty. A tube of copper with brass fittings on it would also be considered dirty.
“An alloy is any mixture of 2 or more base metals melted together so that their atoms are fused into a new aggregate molecule usually designed to achieve some new metallurgical property, such as the example of several dozen specific alloys of stainless steel being the mixture chromium, nickel, & iron to achieve an alloy that will not rust under normal conditions; thus the moniker “Stainless”.”
