I think a Hydrometer is more what I should be looking for. The MSDS lists the Specific Gravity and that should give me an idea of how well it's holding up.
Specific Gravity (Water=1):
1.575 for 75% Phosphoric Acid
1.692 for 85% Phosphoric Acid
And yes Bill it does seem to still be working just fine, even after derusting a bunch of stuff. I'm sure it's loaded with cadmium and zinc from a bunch of striping that I did on radio chassis.
Run into a brick wall again. I’ve just hit another obstacle and have wasted most of the
afternoon and a good portion of the evening hours looking around home for ideas and
online for a solution.
I need a very long narrow container, 50” by 10” to 12” wide and about 6” to 8” deep for my acid bath so I can dip my grill bars. I’ve looked at every thing that the big box stores have for storage and there is nothing that long.
I don’t mind spending a few bucks for a container as I will use it in the future, if I live long enough.
I don’t really want to get into building a wooden box and lining it with visqueen for an acid bath. To much chance of springing a leak, so what I really need is a long, narrow, short Rubbermaid container with a lid.
All this work might be a wasted effort, don’t know if my grill is worth saving, whatca think?
