KIN-TEK Refillable Permeation Tubes

KIN-TEK Trace Source™ refillable permeation tubes [Brochure]:

Have a broader concentration range than the Trace Source™ disposable permeation tubes.
Are recommended for long-term use and special applications requiring a wide range of calibration points.
Are available for chemicals that are not typically suitable for disposable permeation tubes such as CO, CO₂, NO, methane, ethane, arsine & phosphine.
Emission rate of the tube membrane is certified by the Factory
Most tubes are periodically returned to KIN-TEK for refill and recertification.

LFH Liquid-filled	57S and 57H Gas-filled	57 Series Prefilled

I. LFH Liquid-Filled Permeation Tubes
	Generates moderate to high concentration mixtures of low vapor pressure liquids such as acrylonitrile, benzene, methanol and water.
	Are usually filled by KIN-TEK before shipment but may be filled by the customer (with appropriate safety measures in place) for certain components (contact the Factory)
	Tube dimensions: 1¾ inch diameter by 6 inch height plus approx. 2 inch height of protruding tubing

II. 57S Gas-Filled Permeation Tubes
	Generates low concentration gas standards of high vapor pressure gases such as CO, CO₂, NO, N₂O, CH₄ etc.
	Typical concentrations: sub-ppb to 10 ppm depending on tube emission rate and dilution flow rate
	Tube dimensions: 1¾ inches diameter by 6 inches long
	Are usually filled by KIN-TEK but may optionally be filled by the customer (with appropriate safety measures in place) for certain components (contact the Factory). Customer-refill may require a gas feed "GF" module of the 491M or FlexStream gas standards generator.
	Tube dimensions: 1¾ inch diameter by 6 inch height plus approx. 2 inch height of protruding tubing

III. 57H Gas-Filled Permeation Tubes
	Generates high concentration mixtures of high vapor pressure gases CO, CO₂, and NO
	Typical concentrations: 10 ppm to over 1,000 ppm depending on tube emission rate, dilution flow rate and operating pressure
	Are filled by the customer using the controls of a gas feed "GF" module of a KIN-TEK 491M or FlexStream gas standards generator
	Tube dimensions: 1¾ inch diameter by 6 inch height plus approx. 2 inch height of protruding tubing

IV. Prefilled Permeation Tubes Series 57 Prefilled Permeation Tubes are used in KIN-TEK gas standards generators to create gas standards ranging from less than 50 ppb to 5 ppm (depending on tube emission rate and dilution flow rate) for arsine and other hydride gases, as well as highly reactive gases such as HCl, HBr, O₂ and CO. The high vapor pressure of these compounds makes them unsuitable for use in disposable permeation tubes. [Brochure] Description:
	Factory-prefilled permeation tubes
	Factory-certified emission rate
	Small amount of toxic material (typically less than 4 grams of pure gas under 50 psig)
	Capable of safely using the gas phase of high vapor pressure compounds
	Tube dimensions: 1¾ inch diameter by 6 inch height plus approx. 5.5 inch height of pressure gage and protruding tubing (requires removal of some KIN-TEK instrument covers)

V. Refill and Recertification
	Return (with RMA number) to KIN-TEK Technical Services for refill and recertification.
