Hi Jack, I have never seen “dewar rocks“ before. It does not look like the internal absorbent which is whiteish. Any inside the dewar? Does it still stay cold? Looks like rocks from a gravel walkway. Steve Sent from my iPhone On Dec 4, 2020, at 10:05 AM, Tanner, John J. wrote:  When we opene

Hi Jack, was the dewar shipped on 1st April and just arrived? You can buy the CX100 also as CXR100 and there you can replace the adsorbent material. Looks like this. https://www.google.com/search?q=replaceable+adsorbent+material+kits&rlz=1C1CHBF_deAT848AT848&sxsrf=ALeKk01N9aWj7Kw07AMDN1oGMnke1s

We use aquarium gravel for this purpose. It does not have the fine dust-like particles that normal construction gravel might. On 12/4/20 11:42 AM, Nukri Sanishvili wrote: Hi John, I think I know what might have happened: Many of the MX beamlines at the APS use some sort of filler in the contai

Interesting observation. In our home X-ray lab, we constructed a liquid nitrogen dumping station from a large garbage can filled with sand to about 12 inches. To keep the sand out of the dewars we topped the sand with a large wad of screen-door netting. All items can easily be purchased from a l

It does not look like absorbent material and why should it be outside the dewar and not all over the pucks? I concur with Jürgen - it does look like gravel. Às 16:18 de 04/12/2020, Jurgen Bosch escreveu: That looks like gravel from the driveway where the dewar was tossed around Jürgen On Dec

Hi John, These look like real pebbles. If so, they would not word as an absorbent. It looks more like a bad joke. Was the FedEx driver expecting some kind of Thanksgiving gift from you? Wait till Christmas time then to see the real surprises... Best, Nukri On Fri, Dec 4, 2020 at 10:05 AM Tanner, J

When we opened our CX100 shipping dewar returned from APS via FedEx this week, we observed what appears to be tiny rocks on the rim below the foam neck core: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ky09a1vbm9t0mrl/CX100withrocks.png?dl=0 Has anyone seen this before? Is this perhaps the absorbent material from
