Yesterday as I calibrated my sight-glass, I filled 2 quarts at a time (largest measuring vessel I had) and at the end, I realized that my false bottom and dip tube werent in. I know that I could just drop them in and measure the difference and mark accordingly, but Ill be calibrating another vessel too and had a question.
When I filled the pot, the sight-glass line was perfectly level. As soon as I drained any volume, I ended up with a concave line which is what I assume Ill be working with most of the time in my HLT. I know its pretty anal and specific, but the difference from the top of the line and the bottom of the bulge is almost 1/16, so if Im marking permanently, Id rather have the marks in the right place. I know as long as Im consistent with the marking, I should be fine, but I was curious about where the actual liquid level is in the sight-glass: top line, bottom of bulge, somewhere in the middle?
Yes, mostly just a science question, but Id rather do it right the first (or second) time and stick with it. Thanks for any help!
