Commonly Used Data in B902

Data Conversions

  • 28.8 Liter/hour of liquid helium = 1 g/s
  • One 50,000 SCF tube trailer equals ~1840 L (486 gallon) of liquid helium
  • 1 g/s helium ~370 SLPM (St. Liter Per Min.) ~780 SCFH (St. Cubic Foot per Hour)

Cryogenic Equipment 

  • For the 10,000 L liquid helium storage dewar, liquid volume is ~22 gallon / inch

*Calculation for design pressure does not include top plate
In general, top plate is much thicker than bottom plate.
Design pressure does not take insulating vacuum into account.
