Support Equipment and Consumables
Hydrogen Fuel
You must obtain a tank of hydrogen from which you can fill the
internal cylinder. When ordering hydrogen specify ultra high purity
hydrogen, 99.999% pure. This grade of hydrogen is also referred to
as Grade 5 or zero zero grade. The hydrogen must have less than 1
ppm hydrocarbon contamination.
You can obtain the hydrogen in various size cylinders. Regardless
of the cylinder size, the cylinder must have a fill pressure of at least
1800 psig in order to completely fill the MicroFID internal cylinder.
Specify a tank with no more than 2400 psig.
The hydrogen cylinder must also have CGA 350, male outlet.
The MicroFID refill adapter (Part No. MX396004) is shipped with
the instrument. You cannot fill the MicroFID hydrogen cylinder
without the refill adapter.
If the hydrogen supply tank is more than 6 months old it should be
replaced with a new cylinder.
Calibration
