How We Build the Best Liquid Cylinder
Simply stated, innovation is the foundation of Chart’s legendary performance, lowest life-cycle cost,
safety, and user-friendliness. Each of Chart’s world-leading liquid cylinders has been developed with
a commitment to quality, precision engineering and technical excellence.
LCCM
The patented Liquid Cylinder Control
Manifold (LCCM) reduces plumbing
connections by combining the Economizer
Handling Ring
Large diameter heavy-gauge stainless
steel rolled ring supported with four
brackets for additional strength. Plumbing,
gauges and control valves are well
protected when exposed to rough handling.
Neck Tube
Our rugged neck tube is a key component
to our patented Dura-Series support system
design. It is a perfect balance of low heat
loss and durability in event of a tip-over.
and Pressure Builder (PB) regulator along
with the PB isolation valve. The set
pressure can easily be adjusted by hand
with the calibrated dome control knob.
Load Ring
The load ring is another key component
to our patented Dura-Series support system
design. In the event of a tip-over, the
shock is distributed from the outer shell
to the inner vessel through the load ring.
This helps prevent failure of the neck
tube and gives protection in all directions.
Outer Shell
Our high-strength high-polish stainless
steel outer shell is a full 12-gauge thickness
for maximum dent resistance for a longer
life quality appearance.
Bottom Support
Another key component to our patented
Dura-Series support system. The bottom
support not only supports the inner vessel
in the event of a tip-over, but this unique
design prevents the outer top head from
caving if the cylinder is dropped vertically.
Footring
Our footring is made of thick 7-gauge
stainless steel and welded 100% to the
bottom head. This all metal, boltless
design helps absorb vertical shock,
promotes cylinder stability and eliminates
maintenance over the cylinder’s life.
Vacuum & Insulation
Reducing heat transfer from the inner
vessel has always been our top priority.
That’s why we integrate a proprietary spiral
wrap super insulation system with our
vacuum maintenance system. This durable
proven package will give you years of troublefree service for maximum NER performance.
Inner Vessel
Every step in design, engineering, fabrication
and inspection is directed toward meeting
DOT 4L, TC4LM and other pressure vessel
codes and specifications.
Vaporizer
We optimize our vaporizer designs with
the available area of the outer shell to
yield the highest gas withdrawal rates
attainable. During the manufacturing
process, we solder the copper coils to the
inside of the outer shell with custom robotic
machines to maximize the solder content
and control the bonding strength to
achieve our high performance specifications.

Packaged Gases Meet the Needs of Any Application
Welding - GMAW/MIG, GTAW/TIG and Laser Beam Welding
etal fabrication uses many different welding processes for the wide range
M
of materials, thicknesses and product applications. Many of these unique and
specialized welding processes use inert shielding gas or the combination of
gases to obtain maximum weld quality with optimized productivity. Liquid
cylinders offer the flexibility to easily alter the gas supply to match the
manufacturing process changes.
Cutting – Laser, Oxy Fuel and Plasma
All thermal cutting techniques utilize gases to assist in the cutting process.
High-pressure nitrogen and oxygen are used as an assist gas to rapidly remove the
Metal Fabrication
molten metal from the cut zone or burn it away during the laser cutting process.
To maintain maximum laser uptime and achieve the best cut quality, it is critical
that the gas supply be uninterrupted and the required pressures and flows for the
material and thickness being cut are maintained. Oxy Fuel and Plasma cutting
processes have similar requirements. Laser-Cyl liquid cylinders manifolded together
are an economical solution to providing an uninterrupted gas supply.
Heat treating and cryotempering processes are dependent on the quality of
the nitrogen gas and liquid supply to maintain production at peak performance.
With the Dura-Cyl located at the point of use, the operator has complete
control over their gas supply for optimum operation. In the thermal spray
coating process, oxygen and argon are used at high pressure and at high flow
rates. Manifolding Dura-Cyl tanks together is an economical solution for
this application.
ICP/ICP-MS – Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry
GC – Gas Chromatograph
A continuous flow of high purity argon gas is required for ICP/ICP-MS systems to
repeatedly process material samples trouble-free. Dura-Cyl liquid cylinders
manifolded together meet this requirement. In addition, liquid cylinders are
compact so they take up a minimal amount of valuable lab space.
Biological Storage and Research
A sufficient supply of high-quality liquid nitrogen is needed to keep valuable
biological samples stored indefinitely. Any interruption in supply can result in
the loss of many years of research. With dedicated Dura-Cyl liquid cylinders
connected to your equipment, you can be assured of your liquid supply to keep
your samples safe. For applications that require the greatest amount of liquid
in a tight space, the Dura-Cyl 265 with casters is an excellent choice.

MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Helium)
Superconducting magnets bathed in liquid helium are the most commonly
used magnets in an MRI machine. The low temperature reduces the internal
resistance to zero, which reduces the electrical requirement for the system
dramatically and making it much more economical to operate. Chart’s Ultra
Helium Dewars are designed and built for reliable helium transport. They are
thermally efficient, lightweight and maneuverable – making them the dewar
of choice of lab personnel.
Medical
Oxygen Therapy • Cryotherapy
Medical applications have some of the most stringent gas specifications and
the Dura-Cyl meets these requirements with NF grade availability. Dura-Cyls
manifolded together for respiratory therapy assures a continuous gas supply
and lowers distribution costs over high pressure cylinders. An isolated hyperbaric
chamber with intermittent use of oxygen is also a good application for Dura-Cyls.
NF grade nitrogen can also be supplied for gas applications to operate pneumatic
surgical tools and supply liquid for medical uses such as cryotherapy.
General Processing
Purging and Blanketing
Inert purging and blanketing with nitrogen or argon gas is a common processing
step in many manufacturing applications. These range from pharmaceutical to
chemical to wine making. Other unique applications like keeping fiber optic and
telephone wire lines dry with nitrogen throughout the city make the Dura-Cyl an
excellent choice of inert gas supply.
Electronic Manufacturing and Testing
Electronics manufacturing can use liquid or gaseous nitrogen or argon during the
manufacturing process. Dura-Cyl liquid cylinders offer a compact package where
the pressure and source is near the operation for convenience and customization
of the gas supply. In a related business, printed circuit board testing (HALT/HASS)
performed with liquid nitrogen-powered environmental test chambers requires
quality liquid at the point of use. For intermittent users or small chambers, the
Dura-Cyl is an economical and convenient liquid supply.
