Sac Size To Ml Of Ink Comparison

[Guest Ray Cornett]

Is there a typical sort of chart anyone has compiled as to how much ink the various sac sizes should hold?

[FarmBoy]

pi r^2 X L + 0.5 (4/3 pi r^3) all measurements in mm assuming a spherical end.

From my experience Ray, Never quite as much as they should .

 

I remember seeing a thread on something like what you're requesting a loong time ago, Maybe in inky thoughts?? Search ink quantities and see what you find.

I doubt it, as there are several variables that affect this.

Two that I can think of are:

• The length of the sac.
  Two pens may use the same #16 sac, but the length of sac would be different.

• The J-bar or pressure bar and how much of the sac is compressed.

Yes, what FarmBoy said.

Will do. Btw, just realized you were a fellow lefty.

That explains his typing.

Mine has gotten worse since I got back into actually writing and working on my penmanship. My typing skills have started to die,lol.

I have flexible nibs... but the effect is rather lost in my penmanship (or lack thereof).

 

Yes, FarmBoy, that probably explains much more than my inability to type!
