Transfill rates/procedure

[lowviz]

Yes, you really should have a gauge. Easy with manifolded doubles, open the isolator and put the gauge on the other tank.

You may also wish to consider a whip that has DIN on one end and yoke on the other. With this rig you lose being able to transfill two 300 BAR DIN cylinders, but you gain the ability to fill "yoke only" cylinders. Just add the insert to your DIN valve so the yoke works, then remove it after the transfill. This is what I use.

why not din on both sides and just use a yoke adapter? No loss of functionality....

I'm looking at Amazon and could only find 3000lb rated SS304/316 Tees. Will these suffice?

Either way. Just bringing attention to having the ability to do so.

I use 200 BAR valves on everything that I can just so I can get them filled at "yoke only" stations.

I doubt that anyone will answer you directly on that. Liability...

While you are at Amazon, get a copy of Vance Harlow's Oxygen Hacker's Companion. You will get your answers.

I'd go local and ask the hydraulic shops, they're usually very good

They should have what you need including the gauges. Also good to know in case you decide to change the length of the hoses and what not since they'll have all of that in stock.

I have the book. Found it! I must have missed it when I read it before.... I see what you mean about liability issues.

Thanks! Looks promising!

FWIW, what fittings you buy at a hydraulic shop you should probably clean first. Depending on your needs perhaps even O2 clean it. That will reduce the chance of contaminants in your cylinders.
