All the same sizes as oxygen tanks. I think they have them as small as 20 or 40
ft3...

While you're at the welding shop you can see all kinds of neat equipment
that will blow holes in plate steel. Try that at your local home brewer's
shop :-)

Like Craig suggested, years ago I bought the equipment from the local

The regulator looks something like this:

The regulator I purchased had the correct fitting to thread directly into
the tank, no extra parts on that side were needed. I can't recall if I
changed the fitting on the regulator outlet/lower press side...

When you buy a commerical regulator (Victor, et al.), you get a regul
You can't really use the tank without a regular anyway. They have a large

Call your local welding shop and ask them. That's where the ones we used
at UT Austin came from. We used them for laser cabinet purge gas and went
through a lot of them.
The regulators we used ha
Looks like I have a 40 cu ft tank, similar in size to:

I can't remember the size, I got a small one and I think it was about $130
for the tank and regulator. That was years ago.

You can get the nitrogen cylinder/pressure regulator from any welding shop.
I can't remember if I even needed an adapter to connect it to manifold
gauges. Having the nitrogen is also nice as a portable air source if you
need to air up tires farther than your air compressor hose will reach

Where do you get the nitrogen and the right fittings to connect it to the
A/C gauge set?

I also use a refrigerant scale to weight the charge I put in. Since I have
a 30 lb cylinder it makes sense to do it that way. The scale comes in
handy for other things too... like measuring boxes so I can preprint labels
before taking them to FedEx, UPS, etc.

Beat me, but I suspect you'd notice movement on the gauge.

Thanks for the explanation. I wonder what gauge movement you'd see if the leak
takes a season to let out only 8 ounces if refrigerant?

I would normally just put in about 300 psi and watch and the gauge. If it
drops, there's a leak. Cheaper than testing with refrigerant. Just
because the system can hold vacuum doesn't mean it can hold pressure, and
vice versa.

Once you've pressurized with nitrogen, how do you test? How much nitrogen
pressure?

What is JC-Test?
I usually pressure test with nitrogen and vacuum test with a vacuum pump...
then put in the correct amount of refrigerant. If flushing is necessary,
they make flush guns for that.

I think the FSM has the make-up numbers for common things like condenser
replacement and whatnot.
I'd personally do a system flush with acetone to clean out any acid
buildup, then refill oil and use JC-Test for the gas.

Yes, any thoughts on how to calculate the make-up oil quantity?
