General description

Provides a convenient and safe method for shipping, storing, and dispensing research quantities of air-sensitive liquids or liquefied gases whose reactive nature or pressure precludes use of glass bottles. Because Sure/Pac cylinders are made of steel they are virtually unbreakable, and their wider base makes them more resistant to tipping over than a glass bottle. When fitted with the Sure/Seal ball valve allows a positive, leak-resistant closure for air sensitive liquids, which may be additionally secured by the use of a brass cylinder plug. The ball valve is wide enough to permit a solution to be withdrawn as needed with a conventional 9 in. disposable Pastuer pipette which will reach the bottom of the 275 mL Sure/Pac cylinder. When fitted with gas needle valve may be used to store and dispense low boiling point liquids and liquefied gases as low pressure gas¹. Cylinders are made of low carbon steel and have copper brazed seams. Meets DOT specification 4B-350 (Z420646 only) and 4B-240, rated 240 psi, and have 1/4 in. NPTF inlet.^1. See Gas Equipment for Sure/Pac gas dispensing stations.
