Gas Handling Equipment

Gas Cylinders

11-BM has standard gas cylinders available, typically:

• O2
• Inert Gases: N2, He, Air
• 3.5% H2 (He balance)

Always check with beamline staff in advance to ensure gas availability for an experiment. Custom gas cylinders need to be requested well in advance.

Gas Regulators

11-BM has several dedicated high-purity gas regulators, including (as of Jan 2012):

• CGA Size #350, Dual-Stage, Gauge < 200 psi (4-100 psig). Used with Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen, Ethane, Ethylene, Methane, and related gases. (Sigma-Aldrich Part Z405973; mfr Matheson #3122-350)

• CGA Size #540, Dual-Stage, Gauge < 60 psi (4-100 psig). Used with Oxygen. (Sigma-Aldrich Part Z405957; mfr Matheson #3121-540)
