Gas Leak from Vinyl Taped Stainless Steel Dressing Jars

摘要

The leak rates of nitrogen gas from stainless steel dressing jars taped with 2211u001einch vinyl tape were measured. These results were used to calculate hydrogen leak 211u001erates from the same jars. The calculations show that the maximum concentration of 211u001ehydrogen buildup in this type of container configuration will beat least 3 orders 211u001eof magnitude below the lower explosion limit for hydrogen in air.
