Mk III Terpenator

How much butane will a 8" x 24 " chamber hold?

How much butane will a 8" x 24 " chamber hold?

Will a 8" x 24" collection chamber, hold the entire contents of butane from a LP5 recovery tank or would the butane have to be weighed and metered out?

Thanks:tiphat:

Hey there Gray Wolf.
I am awaiting my MK3 kit and accessories.
Spent many hours searching for a good quality equipment and have yet to find what type of appliance is best for the warm water bath for the collection pot to sit in.
Any suggestions on the best product out there?

I use a sous vide. Keeps my water at the perfect temps

An 8" OD sanitary spool has a .083 wall, so an internal capacity of about 1157 cubic inches.

1157 cu/in X .80 legal fill =926 cu/in.

926 cu/in X .0361 lb/cu in weight of water =33.4 lbs water.

33.4 lbs water X .601 specific gravity of n-Butane = 20 lbs butane.

I've been thinking about grabbing one. Can it keep the water at 100 degrees the whole time? Which model do you use? I've noticed there are a few.

Model I personally use. I currently only have a 6" collection pot so I can use a cooler with it no problem. I personally run it at 85F and it holds it there probably 1F+/- I'm guessing
