Gas balloon type adapter is used for protective storage in jointed vessels.

• Attach balloon to hose connector
• Store inert gas in balloon
• Balloon not included

One arm of T-bore stopcock is connected to inert gas source. Arm with hose connector is connected to a balloon. Vessels connected to this adapter may be flushed and filled with inert gas. The balloon can be expanded with inert gas for storage at the same time or separately. The stopcock bore is then rotated to connect the balloon to the vessel. The inert gas tubing may be disconnected giving the vessel its own portable inert gas source to balance volume changes caused by sample removal. Supplied without balloon.
