Sample Holder Assembly

To assemble the vanadium powder sample holders require the sample holder, the lid and 6-32 screws, and indium, lead or viton o-ring to make a seal are needed. If you need to have a helium atmosphere for the experiment and the sample is not radioactive place all materials in glove box in the high bay and follow instructions on the box to use the helium gas (if the sample is radioactive contact a member of the user services team to help with inert atmosphere). Place the power in the sample holder. Put the correct length of indium or lead around the grove for the o-ring. If the sample will only be used at room temperature use a viton o-ring with the sample (this helps prevent powder from escaping the sample holder). Place the lid on the sample holder and screw in the 6-32 screws in a star pattern to properly compress the lead/indium o-ring.
