Hi All,
One of the instrumentation labs I work in recently had a report suggesting that both the hydrogen and acetylene tanks be equipped with flashback adapters. These are for tanks used for a GC and a Flame AA. The manufacturer, however, suggests that these regulators aren't necessary. I was wondering if anyone on this listserv could comment on whether they use flashback adapters for tanks attached to GC's and FAA instruments.
Thanks,
