Sample Cylinder Accessories

outage tubesOutage Tubes

Outage tubes provide a vapor space of the desired volume in cylinders containing liquefied gases, so that liquid in the cylinder can expand if the temperature increases. Without enough vapor space, a small temperature increase can cause the liquid to expand and increase the pressure dramatically.

Outage tubes are welded to the male inlet end of an adapter or tee. This adapter or tee is then threaded into the female port of a sample cylinder.

Outage tubes can also be welded directly to the male inlet of a Swagelok nonrotating stem needle valve. The valve is then threaded into the female port of a sample cylinder.

  • Protective handle prevents contaminants from entering functional valve parts
  • Orifice sizes from 0.093 to 0.218 in. (2.4 to 5.6 mm) are available.
  • Flow coefficients (Cv) from 0.12 to 0.53 are available
  • Female NPT, male NPT, Swagelok tube fitting, and mixed end connections are available
  • Pressures up to 3000 psig (206 bar)

Rupture Disc Unitsrupture disc unit

Swagelok rupture disc units protect sample cylinders from over pressurization by venting the cylinder contents to atmosphere. The use of a rupture disc is recommended with chemicals that may rapidly expand and pressurize due to temperature changes. 

The rupture disc is welded to a body that is threaded into a valve body or a rupture disc tee and sealed by an elastomer O-ring. The rupture disc can be easily replaced without removing the valve or the tee from the cylinder.
