Do you just pack material on the media? I was thinking a filter plate above and below to spread out flow going in
I see bg has a sightglass inline, im really wanting to put media in a sight glass and see what i can see

I use a filter stack on the bottom of my material column so i can have an easier time swapping prefilled frozen columns. Between the material column/filter stack i use a 25 um screen gasket.i thought about the site glass thing but wasnt sure it it would hold up to -105f

Do it, just have a pressure Guage above and below to make sure you donāt pop

Pressure should be an issue, its only going to be 10 to 30 psi. Even if you inject at 50 to 80

Ive used it inline a few times with no issue, at the temps i run, i only would have pressure if i let it sit all day, and even then i bet it gets to 50-60 psi and stopsā¦

I use those sight glasses to crystalize in, they hold up fine to the low temps.

I built a miner out of 2 of them. Pressure nvr seemed to be an issue. It held fine at 150 and -30

N2 is not just for dewax, it is also for any sort of adsorbant/chromatography column to assist is flow rate, or to help filter speed when filtering out fats.

Yea the sight i was referring to is from a miner which is considered a pressure vessel, however its not certifiedā¦

Yea, seems having it as part of the column produces the best results

Dred has though and he also said as a part of the column works best. No reduction etc, however i have a 4" with the showerhead that may be worth trying to have as a separate chamber

I think the shower head would work great spreading it out

I do like it right against the material. I can soak through it, I feel it helps with not channeling and flow.
