Different billiard games have slightly different table standards by dimensions, bed thickness etc. For snooker, a full-size tournament table is 12 feet by 6 feet the length of a billiards table is always twice the width. This is bigger than a full-size pool table. Other standards are 10 feet by 5 feet, 9 feet by 4.
Smaller tables can do with thinner beds and fewer pieces per table, but full-size, tournament snooker tables always have very thick beds of thickness 4. Depending on the thickness and quality of the slate, as well as the frame, all tournament-size tables always weigh above pounds and can go up to pounds too. Full-size snooker tables almost always come with a 5-piece slate bed. A minimum would be 3 pieces, but professional tournament tables always have 5 pieces per table.
Anywhere between pounds to pounds. Wooden tables are much lighter than slate pool tables. These are considered low-end, because all professional tables always have a slate bed. Their weight varies widely, depending on the type of wood, the size of the table, and the build or style. The right lighting is important when creating the best pool playing conditions, whether at home or at the club. Pat, I was wondering about this, but your figure seems high to me. I have never actually weighed slate, but I do design computer systems to weigh truck loads of stone, and have weighed literally hundreds of thousands of truck-loads of various types.
Your figure of pounds per cubic foot works out to pounds per cubic yard. Now, from memory, gravel in this area weighs about 1 ton to 1. If you head into northern ontario, where it is high in ore, it can get up close to tons per cubic yard, but that is granite with a high percentage of nickle ore in it.
Dolemite Limestone like you find in the Rochester area of the states weighs in the pounds per cubic yard range, but I would think it quite a bit lighter than slate. The high manganese limestone you get in central PA and upper Kentucky weighs slightly more, in the pounds per cubic yard range. Concrete weighs from pounds per cubic yard to , depending on the aggregate and the aeration.
I have never heard of unaerated concrete that weighs less than pounds per cubic yard, and never over pounds per cubic yard. May I ask where that figure came from? I have a calculator that estimates tonnages from measurements in any unit how many tonnes of granular A to fill a driveway 50 meters by 10 feet by 6 inches deep.
It would be real easy to use it for tables, if I had the actual density of the various types of slate. I could revise it a bit, and give it to Ron for playpool. It also has different weights for wet and dry materials these are for dry.
Yes, those figures look pretty reasonable, and agree fairly closely with mine. To tell the truth, you are quite correct about the "broken" vs "solid" weights. I have been thinking in terms of processed stone Call it a brain fart.
My "Pocket Reference" by Thomas J. The reply address in the header goes to the bit bucket, do not reply to it. They are made by fastening together three separate pieces or plates of slate. They are significantly harder to move since they weigh more than one-piece tables and you also run the risk of ruining the plates.
Pool lovers and professional pool players usually only play on these heavier three-piece slate pool tables due to their smooth and level surface. The thickness of the slate used in a pool table is another prominent factor that heavily impacts its weight. The thicker the slate bed, the heavier a slate pool table will be. The industry standard for the thickness of slate beds is around 1 inch. However, some manufacturers also provide slate beds with a thickness of one and a quarter inches.
It stands to reason that the size of a slate pool table will also affect its weight. The standard sizes of pool tables are 7, 8, 9, and oversize 8 feet. A 7-foot slate pool table usually weighs about pounds, while an 8-foot slate pool table typically weighs around pounds.
Apart from the type, width, and number of slates used in a pool table, the overall structure of the table also adds a little to its weight. Slate pool tables need a solid surrounding structure that can withstand the weight of the slate. It needs to be made of sturdy and supportive materials to fully handle the weight of the slate bed.
This is why hardwood, such as oak, is used to build the surrounding structure of slate pool tables. The weight of the body or frame of a slate pool table can be as much as pounds.
