Hello AMMRL,
We currently don't have O2 level sensors in our NMR lab. We've been discussing
with our EH&S on whether to install them.
At the moment, we think we'd be ok when there is a large amount of helium gas
escaping (e.g., during a quench) because of the high ceiling in the lab, but we
are more uncertain about nitrogen.
What are some of the possible events that can cause a large amount of nitrogen
gas to flood the NMR lab and potentially suffocate someone? (Being in southern
California, we already covered earthquakes).
I will provide a summary. Thank you so much!
Best,
TC
