used. Air or oxygen is recommended for the purge gas when performing oxidation studies
(DSC analyses).
The purge gas for any instrument must be dry. Use a size 1A cylinder equipped with a
pressure regulator that has a shutoff valve at the outlet. The shutoff valve should have
1/4-in. NPT male threads on the outlet side for connection to the analyzer's purge gas line.
