How Do You Install, Pressure-Test, and Leak-Test a Laboratory Gas Distribution System?
Introduction
Laboratory gas distribution systems (GDS) deliver high-purity, reactive, toxic, flammable, and inert gases from primary supply sources—such as gas cylinder banks, cryogenic dewars, or bulk storage tanks—directly to analytical equipment (e.g., GC-MS, ICP-MS, LC-MS) and chemical reactors. In high-purity and ultra-high-purity (UHP) environments, an improperly d...
