Ralph,
Yes, adding the calcium will increase the volume. Not by a lot, but enough to consider.
I've got a chart that shows the following numbers for a 12.4x28 tire.
35 gallons of water = 292 lbs.
30 gallons of water + 105 lbs. of CaCl2 = total 355 lbs.
28 gallons of water + 140 lbs. of CaCl2 = total 374 lbs.
I'm also curious as to what the "proper amount" of CaCl2 means.
Is someone trying to determine the freeze point with various amounts of solution. I've seen the numbers to add various amounts of CaCl2 , from 2.4 lbs. per gallon up to 6 lbs. per gallon depending on the amount of weight you want to add.
At 2.4 lbs. per Imp. Gal. the mixture remains slush free at +13° F and solid @ -23° F
At 4.2 lbs. per Imp. Gal. the mixture remains slush free @ -12° F and solid @ -52° F
At 6.0 lbs. per Imp. Gal. the mixture remains slush free @ -53° F and solid @ -62° F

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
