Dewar Flask for liquid nitrogen

Post by rae »

Morning All,

Does anyone know where to buy a Dewar's flask to transport liquid nitrogen?

Normally I think you would just hire the Dewar flask at the same time as you order the liquid nitrogen. Check with your liquid nitrogen supplier. We have also had ours delivered and the carrier brings it straight to the prep room. The supplier picks up the flask the next day. We have used the liquid nitrogen for Y6 open days.

We don't have a delivery service because it would cost too much being in a rural area.
I get it from a local doctors surgery so have to transport it ourselves.

I used to deal with a mob called "all ag services" they supplied the flask.
You could opt to pay extra fee for delivery & Piuck-up, but I used to transport in my car.
Would never do that these days, all the rules prevent it
All the best to friends out there Ocker!

Well We do. And take precautions as we need to. Otherwise its impossible to do the experiment and the kids miss out. I have great teachers who accompany me.

I am in Nowra and I use Premier Genetics and Livestock Solutions ph 44227247.
We order 10 litres (mainly year 12 physics) and it is delivered in a Dewar. Another local school uses them also. They have a supply run that goes up and down the coast. Don't know if it goes to the highlands. Maybe worth a try.
