No, if my memory serves me, which is getting more challenging with age, it
was vented. The N2O supply was a standard "K" size steel cylinder w/o a dip
tube so it was inverted in a custom made aluminum stand. The liquid nitrous
was withdrawn by opening the hand valve manually and the test apparatus was
filled remotely by a solenoid valve as was the vent valve also a remote
operated solenoid valve. Forgot to mention type K thermocouple(s) were used
for remote temp monitoring.

I’m assuming then we’re talking about a non-vented tank here?

To clarify: my issue/question is about temperature variation in the tank…
not reaching equilibrium with the ambient temperature.
