An old bathtub doesn't have to be thrown out. An acrylic bathtub liner is an easy way to save it.

The production of modern domestic bathtubs is regulated by GOST 18297-96. The new GOST does not impose any requirements on the weight of cast iron plumbing fixtures.

The main classifications are by size (length, depth, width). The requirements for enamel are shown in more detail.

Therefore, there is no point in talking taiwan mobile database standardizing the thickness of a cast iron bathtub if it is made in compliance with this document. This will rather be an indicator of the quality of the enamel.

But not all manufacturers comply with even these requirements, and prefer to produce plumbing in accordance with TU (technical specifications).

One of the most popular sizes is a 170x70 cm bath - its weight is 99 kg for Kirov baths and 108 kg for models made in Novokuznetsk. The weight of imported cast iron baths of this size depends on the manufacturer - there are models that are both lighter and heavier than Russian ones.

Length less than 150 cm - sedentary

Small apartments are still in use, and short sitting basins are still being produced today. Their standard length is 120 cm, width 70 cm and depth 38.

But there are also shorter baths on the market, only 105 cm long. Such bowls have become increasingly popular for use in medical procedures in sanatoriums and health resorts (relaxation, herbal baths, etc.).

Comparison of weight of models from different manufacturers (table)
On the Russian market, manufacturers from different countries offer plumbing from economy to premium class. Unfortunately, there are only 3 domestic manufacturers, two of which are located in Kirov and one in Novokuznetsk.
