I found a nice little 35L 316 S.S. drum for my nitric acid store ,it only has one opening so no vent hole..
Put in a liter of 72% nitric and left if for a week,shaking every day.
Once retrieved the acid was still clear as a bell so I think it is good to go.
Except for the tap Fitting.
I have expended a good half a day in communication with several suppliers.
One can do one that is self venting but is not rated for acid and will not fit a trisure thread.one can fit every thing except self venting.
And most respond to my request for a self venting acid resistant pouring tap to fit a 60mm female barrel as if the idea had never occurred to them.
It is a trisure thread which I can find adapters for to bring down to a smaller standard thread but this would seem to present a week point which is not rated for the purpose.
Any ideas.Much thanks
