Liquid Nitrogen Dewar

So, I am looking for an affordable dewar so I can do some cryo work on my high alloy stainless stuff.

How wide are the necks on those things?
They look very narrow--perhaps too much so for some of my designs.

They aren't cheap, for sure. You probably don't need more than a 20ltr unless you are planning on doing a lot of blades.
Be careful when purchasing a used one. they are insulated in part by a vacuum like a thermos. They can loose the vacuum by being moved around in a truck or just being generally abused. They are repairable, but it isn't cheap to have them sent of and the vacuum redone.

Cool. 2 1/4" will work for pretty much everything in my current design portfolio.

I will probably choose new based on that vacuum info (which I did not know). Thanks.

Also keep in mind the lid has a foam piece that extends down into the dewar. It's usually 6" long.
