	Use the data in Kempe's Engineers' Yearbook, any edition. Either that, or pick the thing up using a plate clamp and a crane-weigh device. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	11,375,000 cubic units X weight of steel per cubic unit = weight. By the way, steel varies from about 0.291 to 0.296 lbs/cubic inch, or thereabouts. Given your numbers, I would guess that your measurements are in millimeters -- right? That would be about 205 lbs. __________________ We have met the enemy and he is us . . . Walt Kelly
