Thanks Marcus, Dee-Hua, John, and Andrew. All four replies were positive about the success of putting Bruker one-way valves on the helium manifold output of Oxford magnets.
The silver/gray one-way valve seen on modern Bruker magnets has screw connectors, and relief pressure of 15 mbar. This has been used on Oxford magnets with adaptors to connect to the KF-25 connectors:
Z52395 One-way valve
Z52523 adpater from screw to KF-25 connection
A red version with KF-25 connectors that the engineers use when energizing a magnet is also available (not sure of relief pressure for this):
Z58140
AMMRL:
Please let me know if you have put a Bruker 15 mbar one-way valve on the outlet of the helium manifold of an Oxford magnet. I like these one-way valves that can be left on, providing protection from air during normal boil-off and helium fills, and want to put them on Oxford magnets. It seems like this should be safe, but please let me know about your experience with this. Thanks.
Margaret
