Title: Gas Leak from Vinyl Taped Stainless Steel Dressing Jars

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/8195· OSTI ID:8195

The leak rates of nitrogen gas from stainless steel dressing jars taped with 2 inch vinyl tape were measured. These results were used to calculate hydrogen leak rates from the same jars. The calculations show that the maximum concentration of hydrogen buildup in this type of container configuration will beat least 3 orders of magnitude below the lower explosion limit for hydrogen in air.
