Heads Up
Lab Safety Supply now carries Ferric Chloride and just about any other type of reagent you can imagine. One liter of FC in an amber glass bottle is only $12.70.

Jeff, How many ounces in a litter? The FC I bought at RS last week was around $3.00 for 16 ounces.

If my feeble mind remembers correctly there are approx 33 fluid ounces in a litre. JPH __________________ Dr Jim Hrisoulas, Author, Researcher, Swordsmith Living in the Nevada desert. N-T Hirsute Hine'y Hrisoulas

The old mnemonic I use to remember this is:
A litre of water is a pint and three-quarters So long as a fluid ounce on the left side of the Pond is the same as over here on the right  Roger

I just got some last week so I'm good for a couple years. The fellow I talked to at the Radio Shake here didn't sound like they were going to stop carring it although I got the last two pints they had. I wonder if there are different strengths of it, maybe the stuff you found is a higher octane....
Roger, I always thought a litter was more than a quart. I can remember over 30 years ago talk was there would just be one standard measurment and it never happened.

Bought a couple bottles of ferric cloride from Radio Shack just to stock up, last a long time around here.
Had an electrical project too, Radio Shack is sure pricy on small electric parts, local suppliers much cheaper. __________________ Happy Hammering, wear safety glasses. Gene Chapman Oak and Iron Publishing www.oakandiron.com/

Well one thing is for sure, that any of you who have any experience with Lab Safety Supply is that your Ferric Chloride will be very good stuff, i.e. pure. I just thought I would through this out to you guys who are having a rough time getting your FC.

Raymond, Peter's an engineer which is why he had to answer your question so precisely
Yes a pint of beer really is a pint. I guess that's about a pint-and-a-quarter US. European Union regulations make us sell most stuff by metric measurements but there would be a drunken English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish revolution if we had to accept glasses of beer in half-litres....... Mmmmm I think I'll go to the pub this evening. Just a pint ort two, honest Roger
