CRLS Delivery Policy

CRLS delivers gas cylinders and dewars (without further assistance to lab personnel) and retrieves empty cylinders. It is not the duty or responsibility of CRLS personnel to unsecure or secure gas regulators, cryogenic hoses, or other fixtures for lab personnel. This is for overall lab safety, CRLS personnel safety, and CRLS delivery time limitations.

In addition, CRLS staff are not responsible for the correct tightening of regulators, pressure gauge settings, checking for leaks, or any other equipment settings related to gas regulators or research equipment systems. CRLS can provide support with the movement of cylinders, loosening of caps, and/or providing wrenches, if requested, for loosening gas regulators. No gas cylinders are to be left in hallways unsecured or without being contained on a cart. If a cart is temporarily left in a hallway, proper notice will be given to the lab that a cylinder has been delivered as requested.

Cylinder/Dewar Rental Fees

• CRLS charges a $2.50 rental fee for each gas cylinder per month.
• CRLS charges a $30 rental fee for each liquid cryogenic dewar per month (Liquid Nitrogen & Liquid Argon).
