    Lead Sheet & Plate

    Engineered for Performance: Jamestown Lead Sheets & Plates.

     

    Whether your application demands the flexible, formable malleability of lead sheets or the rigid, structural stability of high-mass lead plates, Jamestown’s products are engineered for precision and long-term durability. Manufactured to strict thickness tolerances—driven by our unique, high-speed rolling mill—our sheets and plates provide consistent, reliable radiation protection, lining systems, and structural barriers across the medical, nuclear, NDT, aerospace, and construction sectors.

     

    From easily forming around irregular surfaces for a precision fit to serving as heavy-duty counterweights and shielding walls, our lead products deliver dependable results in the most demanding environments. In an industry where the material itself is often commoditized, Jamestown differentiates itself through advanced manufacturing precision, rigorous process control, and responsive, expert people dedicated to meeting your exact specifications for fit, form, and function.

    Lead Sheet Rolls

    Jamestown North America offers highly customized sheet lead in various thicknesses, widths and lengths. The most common thickness for sheet lead ranges from 1/32” to 1/8”. We can produce sheet lead based on your custom needs or we can supply common sheet sizes, such as 30”x30”, 3’x3’, 4’x7’ and 4’x8’.

    We offer three grades of sheet lead, including:

    • Pure/Corroding grade (can meet QQL and ASTM specs)
    • Chemical (Copper Bearing) grade (can meet QQL and ASTM specs)
    • Antimonial grade (can meet AMS-L-18331A spec)

    Lead plate

    Lead Plates are commonly used as a permanent installation to line walls, floors, and ceilings, along with medical, industrial, nuclear, and transportation applications. Lead Plates are preferred because:

    • The durability of lead provides a long life cycle, which means fewer replacement costs over time.
    • The thicker plates are more rigid than sheet lead.
    • The density of lead also lends itself to natural sound reduction and vibration control.

    Jamestown lead plates are flexible, high-density materials engineered for applications requiring precise conformity and reliable performance. Ideal for radiation shielding, lining systems, and construction uses, they deliver consistent thickness, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation across demanding environments. Available Sizes

    • Plate lead Thicknesses - from  1/4” to 5” thick, custom thicknesses available
    • Plate length and width - cut to length and width per your specification
      Options
    • Custom fabrication is available to your specification.
    • Rabbeted and bevel edges available
      Material Grades, Alloys & Purity
    • Pure/corroding Grade (Grade B) - Typically 99.5% lead, suitable for general applications where formability and basic performance are required
    • Chemical Grade (Grade C) - Typically 99.9% lead (copper bearing), offering improved corrosion resistance and strength for more demanding environments
    • Antimonial (Hard) Lead - Contains approximately 5-7% antimony, increasing strength, hardness, and structural performance
      Applications
    • Radiation Shielding - Medical, dental, Nuclear, NDT, Industrial and laboratory environments
    • Roofing & Flashing - Waterproofing and weather protection
    • Vessel Lining - Corrosion-resistant barriers
    • Soundproofing - Noise reduction in commercial and industrial settings
    • Construction - Shielding, sound dampening, and specialized building applications
      Specifications
    • QQ-L-201 (Grades B & C) - Federal specification for lead sheet and plate
    • ASTM B749 (L50049 & L51121) - Standard specifications for lead and lead alloy sheet and plate
    • ASTM B29 (L50049 & L51121) - Standard specification for refined lead
    • AMS-L-18331 - Specification for antimonial lead alloys

    Lead Sheet & Plate Common Applications:

    Diagnostic Imaging

    The density of lead coupled with the ability to produce extremely thin sheets means sound reduction is achieved without interfering with the structural integrity of the building materials, such as plywood, sheetrock or concrete. Lead soundproofing can be commonly found in hospitals, recreation centers, manufacturing facilities, hotels and industrial plants.

    Waterproofing

    Sheet lead is naturally waterproof and makes a great lining. The pliability of sheet lead allows it to follow the natural contour of the tank, conduit, pipe, tube, crevice, wall, floor or base material.

    Radiation shielding

    Lead naturally blocks the amount of radiation due to its density. Sheet lead can be adhered to building materials that conform to your natural layout of the room whether it is in an academic laboratory, veterinary clinic, dental clinics, hospitals, airports and industrial facilities.

    Corrosion prevention

    Lead resists corrosion due to its chemical properties. Sheet lead is ideal for lining of casings, tanks, roofs, walls or anywhere you need to protect the integrity of a location from corrosion.

    Roofing

    Sheet lead can be molded to any shape so it can follow the natural roof contours regardless of pitch. It is durable and has a long lifespan that will outlast other roofing materials used.
