We use soft, (kautchuk rich) laboratory, rubber tubes 8 years for the
transfer of liquid N2 into the magnet. One tube (depending goodnes of the rubber) works
1-3 years. We never not measured the pressure in the transfer line, simple
keeping it so low as possible (transfer of 20 liters N2 demands 30-50 min.).
The breakage of the rubber tube is wery rare situation and as the pressure is
low we not keeped it as dangerous occurence. May be it is?
