P6015 Freon 114 is ready to go :)


 

Hi everybody,

I finally have that Freon 114 for Tektronix P6015 probes ready to go. I
uploaded 2 photos in Freon114 album so everybody can look at the original
30lb jug and the bottle I'll be shipping it in.

It is actually very easy to work on. It feels much like diethyl ether just
colder. Similar chloroform-like smell, similar cold feeling, no frostbyte...
Very easy to fill those bottles -- attach a stock refrigerant hose to the
jug, put jug upside down, open the valve one full turn and it flows like
water from a faucet... Starts boiling on contact with the room temperature
bottle but almost immediately cools down and boiling stops. Pressure in the
bottle at room temperature is not high so it is safe. It is quite dense, way
heavier than water and vapor is very heavy -- it flows like water.

Should be very easy to use -- just put it into a household freezer for an
hour or so before opening and it pours like water, nothing special.

So everybody who needs it can get it right now. As I already told it is $25
for 100ml plus $3 for the bottle. I don't want to bother with pennies on
shipping charges, PayPal fees etc, so let's make it $7 flat for shipping
within continental US and everything else. That makes it $35 shipped.

Those bottles are actually not all that bad and they have a plug in addition
to that tamper-proof cap. Bottles are 125ml filled with 100ml of freon.
Everybody who worked with refrigerants knows that all the cylinders must be
filled for not more than 80% of their actual volume to give room for vapor
pressure. It might be not that important for high boiling R-114 but anyways
better be safe than sorry...

I can also fill your bottles if you want so, just ship them to me. It
doesn't make much sense because you'll spend more on shipping than my
bottles cost but anyways...

Payment is via PayPal to ksi-at-koi8-dot-net. I have 25 those bottles on
hand. If there is more takers I'll have to order another 25. This takes a
week -- they are shipped from Florida UPS ground and it takes time to
deliver them to Las Vegas...

I will be packing them on weekends and they will be picked up on Mondays.
Everybody who paid before Sunday will have their box shipped on Monday.
Those who paid later will have their boxes packed next Sunday and shipped
out the following Monday.

As a side note -- one never knows what treasure he might find on garage sale
that he happened to drive by :) It was not actually a full 30lb jug, just
30lb gross weight but it is still 24lb+ of Freon 114 left in that jug that
should be enough for everyone for a long while...

Now if you could figure out some way to ship some to the UK?

Fly to Florida, put it in checked luggage, and hope it gets through without
anyone asking questions. Seems to me like the only way.

Freon 114 is classified as non hazardous by the UK Post Office provided the parcel is correctly marked & IS SAFE to send by air. I shipped a bottle to Greece a couple of years ago. It is essemtial to mark the parcel with the exact details of the contents to ensure it gets past security. Convincing the USPS may be impossible of course.

FWIW

The only way is to find a friend who travels from US to UK and ask him to
put a bottle in his checked luggage. It is safe to do this--R-114 is neither
toxic nor flammable so nothing bad would happen even if it leaked while in
flight.

It would've probably made it into some other country if shipped unmarked but
this is definitely not a case with UK. Your guys customs is the nosiest one
on the face of this planet and they open almost every parcel going into UK.

It might've been possible to get it past UK customs with proper paperwork
but that would've meant properly declaring the content here in the US that
would've made it almost impossible to ship out...

Now if you could figure out some way to ship some to the UK?

The address is correct but I do have very agressive spam filters that bounce
everything coming from usual spam nests. Earthlink is one of them :)

For such occasions I do have "whitelist" where I put everybody whose mail
should be accepted no matter where he comes from. I added your email to the
list and now it should go through.

Just in case somebody needs to send me an email but my sendmail bounces it
you can use a "Contact us" webform on my small business site,
and tell what your email is. This will be forwarded
to me immediately and I'll add your email to the white list and send you a
confirmation email right away. I do everything myself, don't believe in any
automatic blacklisting...

As for Freon 114 -- I still have something like 10 bottles on hand so I can
take up to 10 more orders to pack this weekend and ship out this coming
Monday. Freon itself I do have (you saw that big jug, right? :)), it is
those aluminum bottles that I might temporarily run out of...
