[NEWS] Advice to Labs on Minimizing High Pressure Gas Cylinders Demurrage Costs

[Physics facility information]

High pressure gas cylinders arrive to the building at a transfer rack in the loading dock.

Beginning at delivery arrival, end users incur costs for the gas itself and for the time they hold the cylinder.

The attached PDF reminds users of the perforated tag system used for each cylinder and highlights four abandoned cylinders left without tags that continue to accumulate demurrage costs.

A link explaining demurrage and other obligations end users take on when they order cylinders can be found at the link below.

The Department encourages all groups to familiarize themselves with gas cylinder procurement processes to avoid unnecessary costs and reminds gas cylinder users of the following key expectations:

1.) Be aware of inbound deliveries of tanks ordered and retrieve them in a timely fashion (less than 2 weeks).

2.) Take care to retain the attached cylinder tag at all times, including and most importantly, when returning the empty tank back to the transfer rack area.
3.) Be familiar with the intent of the tag system and use the Full / In Use / Empty perforations to indicate the current status of the tank.
