Stan's "Quenching Disk" what it is? And Testing

[Blazer]

If we look at the quenching disc as a jar of large marbles then pour some very small bb's on top then shake, the bb's will flow thru the marbles and around the voids created due to the sphere. The BB,s will travel single file along various paths thru the marbles. Due to the relation in size, the bb,s are required to flow single file. So all we need do find a media of given size and shape to orderly flow the gas while not alowing the gas to get side by side. I noticed on that website they also sell glass beads. It seems a tube filled with something like that and held in place with some screens would work. Possibly even sand grains sorted with screeds.

I've found 2 more websites that look like they can make exactly what is shown in stan's pictures. I'd be more inclined to go with Vitrocom... because they show a picture with multiple tiny holes in it.

Wow, the only thing is it looks like its made out of glass. Might work for high temp areas.

Great find!! I always got the impression Stan used a length of these tubes to prevent flashback into the pipe then you could transission to a standard style tube with a single hole. I see they even sell single bore micro tubes and small glass beads. I wonder if it possilbe to just screed some beach sand and encapsulate between 2 finer screeds and pass the gas through that. That maybe a good way to adjust things by varying the thickness or courseness of the sand or of course go with some of the glass beads shown?

Good idea with the sand Blazer, I think this could also be done with 1/4" board insulation that are used in a gas type fryers.

Jeff, do you know if that is a urathane insulation? I know in one of Stans patents he refers to an existing patent on flexible urathane.
