Argon Gas Requirement - Agilent Technologies 7700 Series Site Preparation Manual

Argon Gas Requirement

The Argon gas needed for installation will be supplied by the customer.
It is recommended that there be a shutoff valve and a regulator with a pressure
gauge within 5m of the 7700 ICP- MS.
The customer will supply and prepare any gas piping from a remote gas storage
area. This must be at least 1/4 inch in diameter and should be made of stainless
steel.
Gas cylinders or liquid Argon may be used. Typically a cylinder of Argon lasts 8
hours. A 260L tank of liquid Argon lasts for approximately one month of daily
(8 hours) operation.
