ARL EQUINOX X-Ray diffractometer can be equipped with a gas cylinder integrated directly
to the instrument. In this case, the cylinder should not exceed given dimensions based on the
specific instrument. Our gas regulator is equipped with a safety valve adjusted to 6 .5 Bar. In
case of overpressure, a tubing allows to release the gas outside of the instrument.
Note
Always use a gas regulator with the instrument.
