Regulator for hydrogen
|
I thought I saw a posting about this previously, but I can't find it now. Will be using hydrogen for the first time in June. We have used helium previously, and we have the "Weather Balloon Inflator" from High Altitude Science - https://www.highaltitudescience.com/products/3-cm-max-safe-inflator
It just threads right into a helium tank. Will we need anything different or additional to use hydrogen at GPSL? Thanks in advance. John Kovac

John, You will need a CGA-350 to CGA-580 Cylinder to Regulator Adaptor in order to make the connection. Hydrogen cylinders are CGA-350. Also, they are reverse threaded so make sure you turn them the right direction when connecting them to the cylinder. They are typically around $30. 73 de Mark N9XTN
