Btw, big shout out to Glacier Tanks’ customer service. I had a 4x36ā€ jacketed column arrived damaged:

Anne, or I honestly forgot her name, got on it and shipped a replacement out almost immediately. Wasn’t even suppose to come in today. Thank you!!!

Awesome! Now cut that ferrule off and weld a new one on and you’ve got an $8 jacketed spool!

Oh darn. I wonder what they do with their scratch and dent stuff, I’d love to buy all their carrier-abused parts

I talked with some gentleman on the phone with the company, I guess he’s the one that does repair cause he wanted to see how bad it was and all

Been curious with collections like these, what’s the purpose of having a separate vessel underneath the collection column? Are you controlling that temperature separately or something, why not just pour directly from the bottom lid?

Same temp as the collection. Same heater. And it speeds up the end of the process.

In what way?

The last few inches of the column has no jacket so even without the sight glass and a flat end cap you’d end up with a cold puddle at the bottom from evaporative cooling

Aha. Makes sense.

Just checking my spacing for the third time (2 before I welded). Anybody have a mag drill I can borrow?

Don’t wear gloves with a mag drill…I almost lost a finger that way

That’s a rule for any rotating equipment. Nitrile gloves are different as they won’t suck your hand in…
