Osmium Amounts (solid pure metal)

This calculator page for Osmium is based on the pure osmium with symbol OS and density of ≅ 23 grams per one cubic centimeter, calculated not measured, 22.59g/cm³ precisely. Osmium is the densest element that can be found in the nature. It is hard metal and it alloys with platinum plus other metals from the platinum group. The hardness and resistance to scratching of osmium could be compared with the hardness of synthetic diamonds or sapphire. For its hardness, durability and high-wear resistant properties osmium is used for making electrical contacts where long time continuous use is demanded; such as electromechanical relays and other switches applications where the material's wear-resistance is important. Old gramophone needles were made out of osmium in the past. Osmium as a metal isn't often used in it's pure form, unalloyed, because unfortunately this metal is quite toxic.
