Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 This is from my Frontier Catalog -they sell empty capsules in bulk. They have a guide showing the sizes. I'm assuming it is accurate enough, and measured so you can know the capsule sizes compared to relative size. Lengths are approximate, since I don't trust my measuring or that the catalog didn't slightly resize in the printing process - which is likely. But, this gives you an idea of the variance, and I'm sure is close within 16th of an inch hopefully. OOO = 1 1/16 " OO = 1 " O EL = 1 " but is narrower than OO O = approx 7/8 " 1 = 13/16 " 2 = 3/4 " 3 = 5/8 " #3 would be the closest, and Frontier doesn't show any sizes less than the #3, so don't know if 3/8ths is out there, though I've seen small caps. Here is the website for Frontier. http://www.frontiercoop.com/products/capsules.html They have pics of the capsules, but you need to know that your monitor may resize these, so I'd still trust the catalog pictures more. And, I see that online they have a #4 listed, that must be the smaller size you are looking for. Hope that helps. P.
