When we quench one of our large magnets a portion of the liquid helium converts to gas. We capture this gas instead of venting it to the atmosphere. We need such a large tank because the expansion ratio of liquid helium to gaseous helium changes volume by a factor of 710 to one. Maximum pressure for our big tank is 250psi.<br /><br />Thanks for posting.<br /><br />TomTom Liptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404609905921515079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191127048494995487.post-27246292925245278762013-01-23T04:37:13.445-08:002013-01-23T04:37:13.445-08:00That is an absolutely massive storage tank!

But safety measures must be made to make sure that it doesn’t seep out accidentally. Helium can have negative effects on people when inhaled. For one, they can experience asphyxia and be deprived of oxygen.<br /><br /><br />@<a href="http://www.modutank.com/tank-fittings/" rel="nofollow">Richelle Loughney</a><br />Richelle Loughneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148783694091406638noreply@blogger.com
