Hi
I want to make a mercury retort and have some problems.
Unfortunately I can not find black iron fittings and cap. I can find these:
Coupling 4" like: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91TM20lAqPL._SX385_.jpg for body retort and galvanized fittings.
After reading this topic http://goldrefiningforum.com/~goldrefi/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=661&start=30#p273651
I found that I can not use steel pipe for my retort.
If I find a suitable gasket I can make this design with black iron. But I have some questions.

1- I want use a 4 inch iron pipe and weld a sheet on bottom of the pipe. Can heat damage welds and make a leak?
2- How much thickness needed for pipe/body retort ?
Thanks
