Hi, Bev, There area cabinets available that don't need a dry nitrogen supply (or any other dry gas), though they tend to be slightly more expensive to buy initially than dry gas versions. One such is made by a company called MacDry - we have one on the shop floor here, and it works well. I think Steve G knows of these as well. Can't help with your gas consumption figures.

One supplier of cabinets for moisture sensitive components states that for a 1200 L cabinet that a dry gas flow of 1200 L/hr is needed. Would you agree with this number? I know of course that the number is predicated to a certain extent on the tightness of the cabinets, but right now I just want to know if this is a ballpark figure that people agree on. regards, Bev Christian Research in Motion --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [This e-mail is confidential and may also be privileged.
