About
A bathtub is a large plumbing fixture shaped to hold enough water for an adult to wash while sitting.
While standard alcove tubs are 5 feet (1.52 m) long, larger soaking models often stretch to 6 feet (1.83 m) or more. Weight varies widely by material, with acrylic tubs weighing around 88 pounds (40 kg), while enameled cast iron tubs can exceed 300 pounds (136 kg). Once filled with water and a bather, the tub can easily weigh more than 500 pounds (227 kg).
From Wikipedia
A bathtub, also abbreviated as bath or tub, is a container for holding water in which a person or another animal may bathe. Modern bathtubs can be made of thermoformed acrylic, porcelain-enameled steel or cast iron, or fiberglass-reinforced polyester.
