Dear All,
Last week NPR had a story on the Helium shortage. You can find it at:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6444180
The result is that when I order a 250 liter dewar, I get 220 liters.
It means I fill every 7 weeks instead of every 8 weeks. I think the
suppliers are trying to avoid people leaving 10 liters or so in the
bottom of dewars.
Regards,
Jeff
