Analysis Sequence

Aug 2013

3-5

9. A pre-helium evacuation begins.

10. A series of manifold dosings and port equilibrations begin to take place on each port to prepare for

analysis under cryogenic conditions. Helium warm free space is measured. Then the elevator is
raised to measure cold free space.
