Really nice looking small stainless steel kegs are sold at a very nice price point. The neck is threaded, so an adapter can screw in (spear type dispenser).
Has anyone used any of these, for smaller volume gas storage?
It doesn’t specify what screw size that pressure relief valve is, but maybe that opening could be repurposed. These also don’t show any pressure ratings.
I am interested in small volume tanks, not the big guys.
I have been known to hand off 5gal soda kegs pressurized with 30-40 PSI of nitrogen to minions rather than risk them accidentally emptying my only N2 cylinder.
Even done it so I could just walk away from a “push” filtration and not worry about me emptying the tank.
I wouldn’t use kegs for anything over 50 PSI. The ones I use these days come with a deliberately scored 135PSI blowout on the bottom.
I have, but would not recommend, had hydrocarbon extract in kegs at 35PSI for a “run it now, pour it later” implementation. It wasn’t a good idea.
Thanks for the insights. I would really like a few tiny tanks, for my tiny CLS.
When operating normally, I rarely use more than a liter of gas at a time, and I run passive. I need tanks that are small enough that they can be easily warmed or cooled.
The 64 oz size mini-kegs look so nice, too bad they won’t hold higher pressure.
Any suggestions, aside from DIY spools? Think tiny, and shiny.
At least with propane, a 5 pound tank will have around 4600ml (1.22 gallon). If you are a small extractor, using 300ml cans of gas. This size tank will easily hold 12 cans, and still not be close to max fill.
11 pound tank is around 10.1 Liters, or 2.67 gallons
20 pound tank, around 18.4 Liters, or 4.86 gallons
A 1 gallon tank is around 4.5 pounds, or 4.1 Liters
1/2 gallon tank is around 2 pounds, or 1.8 Liters
I have this and a coil, I run the coil through a dry ice/isopropyl slurry, and it’s great.
Something I learned from these forums. @J12 in particular, just want to give credit btw.
The coil is an extra cost, but so far I really like it. @Killa12345, is where I got my coil, from their website I believe. The price is great and if you attach some flared ends on it, you’re good to go.
Call Falling Formulations and ask for a custom built tank
They do asme bolt seals instead of tri clamp on request
Was told they have a micro Falling film model too!
I saw a super sweet micro hydrocarbon extractor once with a micro Falling film attached, it was FREAKING NEAT, not production, but about the most badass sickest looking personal setup I’ve seen in my life. Hands down.
