Hello community, We recently had a dry shipping dewar fail catastrophically (while en route to the beam line, so, major trauma). I sent it to a company that specializes in repair and refurbishing of cryogenic tanks, and they told me it has an internal leak, and hence is not reparable. I was expecting that the valve had failed, so the internal leak diagnosis came as a surprise.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any ideas about how an internal leak might come about? The dewar is (was) a Taylor/Wharton CX100, and it was traveling in its bespoke shipping case. Thanks for any insights that might satisfy my curiosity and/or prevent future mishaps of this sort. Cheers, Pat __________________________ Patrick J.
