According to the sellers description they have been pressure tested up to 20 mpa with no leaks. Even if I run supercritical extractions I only plan on going up to 1500 psi at most, so even if I had to directly hear the material vessel I shouldn't even come close to the maximum psi (though I plan on heating the supply tank.
Which links are down?Ahhh I see, it's a good link. Your article was incredibly helpful. Unfortunately all of your links to products are no longer serviceable. I was wondering what type of vessel you used for the vessel. That end is used to depressurize so it should need such stringent pressure ratings. The 45g C02 cartridges aren't ideal for a collection vessel, as one port is on top, and the other is on the bottom. I would want a collection vessel with two ports on top.
20 mpa is about 3ksi. Techincally that is adequate for 1500 psi, but due to possibilities of manufacturing flaws, ASME Section VIII pressure vessel code would require 3X or 4500 psi.According to the sellers description they have been pressure tested up to 20 mpa with no leaks.

Sorry but that makes no sense. Waxes, terpenes and cannabinoids have similiar polarityI am going to be running subcritical extractions, so I can really only extract terpenes and cannabiniods. As liquid C02 isn't a strong enough silent to pull out waxes, lipids, chlorophyll, etc without bringing it to supercritical levels.

If you extract one you extract the others. The beauty of scfe is that you extract everything, selectivly precipitate your desired compounds (and can reintroduce it to the solid in the case of decaf coffee).
That requires a system that allows precise control over process parameters *and* a developed protocoll to know what parameters (at which timepoint) give the desired result. To optimize that you need access to analytical equipment to verify results.
sure you can rig something up, diy a control system, pick up a used GC and start developing. But by the time you have a better product than a solventless extract a year has passed.
(all this implies you know engineering, electronics and chemistry)

Ive sampled some CO2 oil vape carts and i wont go back to distillates when the pricing is close enough. I can also get grams of CO2 oil and i think the flavor is better than hydrocarbon extraction.
One of these days i would like a "table top" CO2 but not at 4-5grand i dont.
Ive tried several. Gold Rush Extracts sells the carts and syringes of CO2 oil. I can get the gram syringe for as low as $30 locally and .5gram carts for around $25. Their Mo Kush and Wedding Cake were by far the best tasting concentrate i ever had.I've never actually tried a C02 distillate. But I do share your sentiment it is an incredibly clean extract.

Funds permitting i would love to try a "consumer type table top" model but $4000+ is tuff to swallow.
Are these scuba tanks the same as standard aluminum CO2 tanks the pressure rating seems to be the same. I can only find carbon fiber scuba tanks that are rated to 4500psi, and aluminum tank that are treated for 3000psi.We used SCUBA tanks. Their operating pressure is 3000 to 3500 psi.
