I too have showered myself by opening the tri clamp of a 2"x36" column. My lid is connected to a SS braided hose so it didn't shoot to the moon, but the material splashed all over my face and covered the underside of the overhang I was working under. The witnesses laughed and now I undo the braided fill hose releasing all pressure before removing the column form the system.
So should I torque a 6" clamp (Dixon) with ptfe to 50 inch pounds?
Dixon is calling out 20 ft pounds for their clamps.
I highly recommend a face shield.I accidentally splashed, literally a drop, ofnSub Zero alcohol,and it made it in my mouth(lol thats what she said).that s*** hit my side of my tongue and my tooth. I have the worst toothache for about 10 minutes and my tongue was like burned or something.I be looking like I'm on Breaking Bad nowadays
When draining water from the recovery tank, how long should it be inverted before opening the vapor valve to disperse water, also can it be done at room temp or should it be on ice?
Thanks!
good. On the goggles under the face shield grey wolf.can never be to safe with our precious vison.
Here's one to keep in mind: Subzero butane has an amazing ability to expand its volume with seemingly small amounts of temp rise. Can confirm: did recently blow up sight glass during a sub-z run.
Suggestion: Always leave some room for expansion in the column when flooding with sub zero tane.
Ditch sight glasses and go to 6000PSI port holes in the lid of your system. Install two of them, one to shine a light down and the other to stare into.
I'd rather run a system on instruments before using an inline sight glass.
Ya, after you use a inline sight glass for a while you really dont need it, i feal like its coo to see what the butane is doing up there but once you know whats going on its best to drop it. I can see how yellow my stream going into the pot is if im worried about "getting it all" but with sub zero temps and having a 12x12 pot i just run more then enough butane to make sure i get everything. I only soak if the material is real nuggy. If its lots of trim i just do one big long pass.
