Recommendations on a tank scale for 200+ pound tank


Hey guys , guys I’ve been searching around for a good recovery scale for my system. But all the ones that I find are to small for my tank. I have a 50lb solvent tank that’s jacketed when full with solvent and liquid for cooling it can weight more than 200+ pounds. Basically what I’m looking for a scale so that I can keep track of my injection and recovery. I have no Idea when I’m low on solvent or just right , any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated

Look at the uline catalogue they have one meant for wheeling a pallet jack onto and there about 3’x3’

I use these. They are “explosion proof”… the internals are hermetically sealed off, its powered via battery.

you mean “source of ignition”?

once upon a time I had a shrine to sources of ignition in my office.

including a propane torch in a fire extinguisher bracket. :shushing_face:
my favorite was one of these red hot ceiling mount numbers

Instead of thinking of a scale search for load cells and you will be able to build your own scale or turn every tank that you have into a scale itself

And of course run the wires outside of your C1D1 area to make your leg

electrical connections outside of your room u could have a window from your extraction area to be able to see various readouts and displays
