💧 That's about the weight of 8 liters of water — or 6 laptops 💻, or 13 basketballs 🏀.
At 7.9 kg, it ranks #2 of 5 in Materials (lightest to heaviest) — heavier than One liter of aluminium (2.7 kg) and lighter than One liter of lead (11 kg).
This is one of the catalog's biggest surprises — and since it's a standardized product, the number above is exact, not an average.
A liter of iron weighs 7.87 kg — almost exactly a men's shot put, which is a much smaller ball.
