Venting Recommendations for CYCLE-TAINER Solvent Delivery Systems

Information

Question Do CYCLE-TAINER systems need to be vented?
Answer

Local regulatory agencies, building codes, and safety policies may require that you attach the container to vent lines during operation. The vent lines attach to the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) and the Pressure Rupture Disk1 (PRDA). The lines should go from the container directly to the outside or to an appropriate exhaust system or laboratory hood. Any exhaust system used for venting the Pressure Rupture Disk Assembly (PRDA) must not create a vacuum against the rupture disk because this will cause the disk to rupture.
Stainless-steel or PTFE tubing may be used as vent lines depending on local regulations. If your regulations require stainless-steel vent lines, you may want to use flexible stainless-steel tubing for adaptability and ease of use.

Check with your local regulatory agencies regarding safety, storage, handling, and facility engineering requirements for these material(s) as well.

Note: Care should be taken to ensure that the PRDA is not compromised by the vent tubing or fitting. The fitting must not touch the PRDA membrane.
