• LN2 tubs tested with LN2 (It depends upon the ambient temperature)

  1. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RFCJ6SB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 
     1. It can hold LN2 up to 13L. I fully topped with LN2.
     2. It took 1 hour and 15 minutes to evaporate the LN2 and open it to the atmosphere completely. 
     3. This type of tub is mostly used at UVA. 
     4. In total, we have three tubs.

  1. 1. I fully topped with LN2.
     2. It took 1 hour and 42 minutes to evaporate the LN2 and open it to the atmosphere completely. 
     3. This type of tub is made from Rubbermaid. 
     4. In total, we have three tubs. 

3. Old blue transfer dewar 12 Jul 2023  

• • • I filled it up-to 3/4 level. 
    • i took 2 hours and 45 minutes to evaporate behind the station 3.
