[Sneap] FN Port Gaskets

[Thomas A Brown]

   We have recently gone through purchasing some new gaskets for our 
HVEC FN ports and our gas recirculating motor/blower vessel.  Given 
the process we went through, I thought some of the information we 
gathered might be of use to others with HVEC accelerators.

   To start, I would like to thank Carl Linder and Greg Harper (CENPA, 
UWashington) and Chris Westerfeldt (TUNL, DukeU) for the information 
they provided on how they have obtained such gaskets in the past.

   In the end, we obtained the gaskets for the FN manway ports and the 
our gas recirculating vessel that we wanted through:

Lenape Forged Products Corporation
1334 Lenape Road
West Chester, PA 19382

   The original contact person at Lenape (Dick Wilson) has retired (as 
had some others) and some of the corporate knowledge seemed to have 
gone with him.  It took a few phone calls to Lenape to get in contact 
with Steve Gray, who could help with the gaskets:

Steve Gray
(610) 793-5090, ext. 246

   The gaskets for the FN manway ports were designated as:

24" Buna-N Delta Gaskets.

   The gaskets for our gas recirculating motor/blower vessel were designated as:

18" Buna-N Delta Gaskets.

The cost of each gaskets was about $100US.

I hope this information is of some use to any who find they need such 
gaskets in the future.
Tom.
