procedures for removing gas line components.
STORAGE
Observe the following requirements when placing an MFC in storage:
• Temperature between 5ºC (41ºF) and 45ºC (113ºF)
• Relative humidity less than 60%
Additionally, prevent any mechanical impact or corrosion.
Reactive gas calibrated MFCs may receive severe contamination or
corrosion from exposure to air or moisture. Check plumbing for leaks,
and purge thoroughly with dry nitrogen before operating or
disconnecting from the system.
