The rohacell below was very thick and sturdy. Perhaps it can make a good lightweight chamber. It is not conducting so be carful of charge up effects. Rohacell 110 WF , CMS 01, Rev. G. Type 4 Grade B

Gas connectors

Legris quick connect

This connector takes a 1/4 OD input hose and has a 5/32 OD output tube which is glued into the GEM detector

Gas Gaskets

Buna-N® A DuPont Dow Elastomers registered trademark brand name of a type of elastomer seal; butyl material which has excellent resistance to gas permeation; an early vacuum seal, generally displaced by Viton®.

Permeation Rates for Air

BUNA-N =[math] 2.5 \times 10^{-7} \frac{torr \cdot liters}{sec \cdot linear inch}[/math]

VITON =[math] 2.5 \times 10^{-8} \frac{torr\cdot liters}{sec\cdot linear inch}[/math]

"The fact that Viton has an air permeation rate that is one order of magnitude lower than Buna-N shows one reason why it is used more and more often in high vacuum systems even though Buna-N's resiliency, as evidenced by the bounce test, makes it easier to achieve a leak-free seal. "

• Buna-N is available in a wide range of Durometers and Colors,

Calculating the gaskets min radius of curvature

[math]R = \frac{C E}{S}[/math] ( inches)

where

R= radius of curvature in inches

C= 1/2 the thickness of the material

E= modulus of elasticity

S= maximum fiber stress of yield stress of the material

Example for Buna-N

C = 2.36 mm/2

E= Elongation/Tensile = 4/2150 (1/psi)

Flexible tubing (pigtail)

Prices increase 5 fold if you want a completely stainless steel system. The cheap hoses come with brass connectors on the end.

Our local vendor (Praxair) is willing to special order swagelok parts in addition to using their standard vendor, Western Enterprises.

Praxair suggest the following part number from Western Enterprises

Pigtails : HPF-4-36 (Brass ends $30 for 3') and PF2-4-36 (stainless steel ends $163 for 3')

GEM detector volums 10 cm x 10 cm x 5 cm = 500 [math]cm^3[/math] = 0.5 Liters

LHC Ar/Co2 (93/7 mix) high rates suggest a gas volume change every 10 hours http://vci.oeaw.ac.at/2001/talks/Tuesday/Aleksa.pdf

CDF Ar/ethane (50/50 mix) did one volume change every 30 hours http://www.slac.stanford.edu/pubs/icfa/spring05/paper1/paper1.pdf

SLAC (75% CO2, 21% Argon, 4% Isobutane, and 0.2% water mix) did 1 volume change every 10 hours , IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE, VOL. 42, NO. 4, AUGUST 1995

BaBAR: The drift chamber represents a volume of 5m3 filled with a gas mixture of 80% Heand 20% C4H10. Gas will flow at approximately 15 l/min, giving one volume change every 5 to 8 hours.

A GEM detector volume change every 10 hours would need a flow meter capable of 0.05 Liters per hour (0.0017 [math]ft^3[/math]/hr) measurement .

Media:Microcalibrator_for_DC.pdf this meter goes from 0 to 20 liter/min,probably accurate to 0.1 l/hr flow rate (want a factor of 2 lower flow rate measurement capability may be able to set for 1 volume change every 5 hours)

This flow meter can detect a volume change every 1/10 hour (0.2 ft^3/h) http://www.swagelok.com/search/product_detail.aspx?part=VAF-M1-01S-1-0

A glass tube VA flow meter goes down to 0.3 L/hr (a factor of 10 too high) GTF 1 CHD-B5-100 cm^3 /min http://www.roxspur.com/flow/glassva/1111.pdf

Probably won't be able to get a gas flow meter for the GEM.
