Warnings and Cautions
Throughout this manual, there are Caution, Warning and
Note signal statements. Please read carefully and observe
the information and/or directives in these statements. See
below for an explanation of these statements.
• CAUTION – Statements will indicate potentially hazardous operating procedures.
• WARNING – Statements will highlight regulatory requirements.
• NOTE – Statements will indicate procedures that might cause product contamination.
CAUTION: Do not pressurize the container with
compressed air or oxygen. Failure to observe this caution
could result in an explosive situation, which can cause severe
injuries to personnel.
CAUTION: Check the weight restrictions for your forklift or
hand-operated fork truck before moving the CYCLE-TAINER
system. Most lifting equipment is designed to lift up to a
designated weight.
WARNING: Local regulatory agencies, building codes, and
safety policies may require that you attach the container
to vent lines during operation. The vent lines attach to the
Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) and the Pressure Rupture Disk
(PRDA) (if applicable)
CAUTION: EXPLOSION HAZARD- You must ground the
CYCLE-TAINER system during operation.
CAUTION: Ensure that CYCLE-TAINER systems are secure
during handling to prevent accidental loss of control of
the container. This may result in injury to personnel and/or
damage to the container
CAUTION: Never mount or store a container horizontally.
Do not stack containers on top of each other
CAUTION: DO NOT DROP CONTAINER. This may damage
the container or burst the rupture disk rendering the
container inoperable
CAUTION: All metal supply and distribution lines should
be electrically earth grounded. Storage areas must provide
electrical earth ground connections for all containers while
in use.
4
CAUTION: Ensure your gas supply is routed through a
high quality stainless steel pressure regulator. The regulator
output pressure must not exceed 40 psig for ASME-certified
containers; 15 psig for non-ASME certified containers; 5 psig
for 1250 L containers manufactured prior to October 1998; 19
psig for 1250 L containers manufactured after October 1998.
These pressures represent maximum working pressures of
the CYCLE-TAINER systems as set forth in this manual.
CAUTION: To avoid possible ignition or explosion to toxic/
flammable vapors, we recommend the pressure relief output
be directed to a hood or other proper venting location. If an
external vent line is used, ensure it does not restrict gas flow
from the pressure relief device or create a vacuum against
the pressure relief device.
CAUTION: Initially turn on the toggle valve slowly to release
gas trapped inside the hose. When you release the lever,
solvent flow will stop.
CAUTION: Do not exceed operating pressure of the CYCLETAINER system. Refer to Section 3.2 for operating pressures
of various container sizes and types.
WARNING: WHEN USING THE CYCLE-TAP SAMPLER,
NEVER DEPRESS THE PLUNGER WHEN THE SYRINGE IS
ATTACHED TO THE SAMPLER. THIS MAY INTRODUCE
CONTMINANTS INTO THE CYCLE-TAINER SYSTEM.
CAUTION: Do not exceed operating pressure of the
CYCLE-TAINER system.
CAUTION: When direct feeding to instrumentation,
DO NOT OVERPRESSURIZE the input line to the instrument
- damage to the instrument may occur. Consult the
instrument manufacturer operation manual or a technical
service representative for the proper feed pressure.
WARNING: If you know or suspect that foreign substances
were introduced into the container, quarantine the container
and call Customer Service at 1-855-AVANTOR for assistance.
Do not return the container without first contacting Avantor
to avoid violations of Federal and/or State laws.
WARNING: Never tamper with the container components.
Promptly report any container malfunctions to Customer
Service at 1-855-AVANTOR
CYCLE-TAINER™ Solvent Delivery System User’s Manual
Section 2 Introduction
2.1 CYCLE-TAINER™ Solvent Delivery System Purpose
The CYCLE-TAINER™ solvent delivery system is designed to
conveniently store and dispense large volumes of J.T.Baker®
brand solvents with no degradation of quality. Solvents are
dispensed from the container to the point of use without
exposure to the atmosphere. This feature is particularly
important for moisture- or oxygen-sensitive materials. The
CYCLE-TAINER solvent delivery system allows solvents to
be delivered from local or remote solvent storage locations
directly to instrumentation or process areas.
This manual will familiarize you with the CYCLE-TAINER
solvent delivery system components and provide guidelines
on how to install the system to meet your needs. In this
manual, you will find engineering illustrations of typical
plumbing systems for distributing solvents from CYCLETAINER systems to points of end use. The facility hookup
designs are generalized and are based on experience
with various customer set-ups. We have found that some
customers’ designs may vary considerably, depending
on their individual application and facility requirements.
The facility designs illustrated herein are guidelines only.
The customer must make the ultimate decision as to the
appropriate system and design to use in their particular
application.

Definitions and Terminology
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
— An organization that certifies pressure vessels. ASMEcertified containers may be operated at pressures above
15 psi. Refer to Section 3.2 for operating pressures for 52 L,
215 L, and 225 L CYCLE-TAINER systems. Higher operating
pressures provide higher flow rates and the ability to plumb
from a remote location or separate storage area.
Basic Startup Kit — A hook up kit that is provided to new
customers. The kit is equipped with components necessary
to hookup your tubing to the CYCLE-TAINER system. The kit
consists of two Quick-Connect bodies (one for solvent and
one for gas), two female tube connectors (one for solvent
and one for gas), and a liquid level indicator (on 52 L, 215 L,
A typical CYCLE-TAINER system connection to an HPLC instrument.
and 225 L sizes only). You will need to specify either a 1/8”,
1/4”, or 1/2” female tube connector for your solvent line.
(One kit is provided at no charge per customer fleet.)
Chime — The uppermost section of the container body. It
protects the dispense head from damage.
Container Body — The side of the container.
CYCLE-TAP™ Dispenser — An accessory device that
connects to the dispense head of the CYCLE-TAINER
system. It allows you to dispense out of the container
without hooking the container to an instrument or specially
engineered process. It is available for sale as an accessory
to the CYCLE-TAINER system. See Section 12.1 for ordering
information.
CYCLE-TOTE™ System — A 1250 L solvent delivery system.
It is part of the CYCLETAINER system family. CYCLE-TOTE
containers manufactured prior to October 1998 are not
designed to be pressure vessels and require the use of a
pump for dispensing solvent. Containers manufactured after
October 1998 can be pressure dispensed.
Dispense Head — The top section of the container, within
the chime, that includes the valves, pressure gauge, fittings,

CYCLE-TAINER Solvent Delivery System
Description
• J.T.Baker® brand label
The CYCLE-TAINER solvent delivery system consists of
two basic components: a stainless-steel container body
and a dispense head. The two components make up the
complete CYCLE-TAINER system. The CYCLE-TAINER system
is available in 4L, 18 L, 52 L, 215 L, 225 L, or 1,250 L (CYCLETOTE) sizes.
• Batch number information

3.1.3
Dispense Head
The dispense head is an integral part of the CYCLE-TAINER
system. It is a positive-pressure dispense head, meaning
that gas pressure is applied into the gas port (inlet), and
the solvent comes out of the solvent port (outlet) on the
dispense head. Positive-pressure dispensing with a high
quality gas prevents solvent degradation and subsequent
contamination.
The dispense head has a number of built-in features that
offer enhanced safety during operation:
• Quick-Connect for Gas (QCG) and Quick-Connect for Solvent Ports (QCS) provide automatic shut-off during uncoupling.
• Solvent Valve (VS) is a secondary shutoff valve for the Solvent Port.
52 L Dispense Head, Model S non-ASME
• Gas Valve (VG) is a secondary shutoff valve for the Gas Port.
• Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) is an initial safety device to release excess pressure inside the container during normal operation of container. The PRV is designed to open when the venting pressure is exceeded and close/reset after relieving the excess pressure from the container.

CYCLE-TAINER™ Solvent Delivery System User’s Manual
4.3
Initial Preparation
Typical CYCLE-TAINER system installations are of three (3)
basic types:
• Type A — Permanently Installed System — distribution from a remote storage location through a main line to a manifold and multiple points of use (Figure 4 in the Appendix).
• Type B — Direct feed from the CYCLE-TAINER system to a process or instrumentation (Figure 5 in the Appendix).
• Type C — Direct feed from the CYCLE-TAINER system to a J.T.Baker® CYCLE-TAP dispenser.
In the Appendix, Section 12.5, there are engineering drawings
of typical plumbing designs with the necessary hardware
recommended to maintain the purity and performance
of these high purity products. These system designs are
meant as guidelines only. The design requirements may vary
depending on the facility layout and application.
4.3.1
Gas Supply
For basic operation of the CYCLE-TAINER system, your lab
needs to have a gas supply (Nitrogen, Argon or Helium)
for blanketing and dispensing that is 99.999% pure and
can deliver regulated pressures to at least 15 psi. The ASME
containers should not be pressurized above 40 psi. If your
application requires high flow rates or you need to plumb
from a distance, you need a gas supply that goes up to 40
psi and ASME-certified containers.
A pressure regulator designed for high purity gases must
be used to regulate your gas supply. These regulators
have stainless-steel diaphragms and inert seals that do not
introduce contamination into the system. DO NOT USE
STANDARD INDUSTRIAL TYPE GAS REGULATORS.
4.3.2
Venting the Container
Local regulatory agencies, building codes, and safety
policies may require that you attach the container to vent
lines during operation. The vent lines attach to the Pressure
Relief Valve (PRV) and the Pressure Rupture Disk (PRDA) (if
applicable). The lines should go from the container directly
to the outside or to an appropriate exhaust system or
laboratory hood. Any exhaust system used for venting the
Pressure Rupture Disk Assembly (PRDA) must not create
a vacuum against the
rupture disk because
this will cause the disk to
rupture.
Stainless-steel or PTFE
tubing may be used as
vent lines depending
on local regulations. If
your regulations require
stainless-steel vent lines,
you may want to use
flexible stainless-steel
tubing for adaptability
and ease of use.
WARNING: Local regulatory agencies,
building codes, and safety policies may
require that you attach the container to
vent lines during operation. The vent lines
attach to the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)
and the Pressure Rupture Disk
(PRDA) (if applicable)
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure
that the Pressure Rupture Disk (PRDA) is
not compromised by the vent tubing or
fitting. The fitting must not touch the
PRDA membrane.
Check with your local
CAUTION: EXPLOSION HAZARD- You

during operation.
regarding safety, storage,
handling, and
facility engineering
requirements for these material(s) as well.
4.3.3Grounding
the Container
A grounding cable or grounding device is needed for
operation of the CYCLE-TAINER system. Failure to use a
ground connection on the containers will allow a static
electricity explosion hazard to exist with the use of
flammable solvents. The originating end of the grounding
wire must be attached to a proper ground per standard
facility procedure.
4.3.4
Tubing Requirements —
Permanently Installed System (Type A)
Permanent installation is recommended for rigorous
processes, plumbing long distances, and high-pressure
applications.
All permanently installed product supply lines should be
high quality 316 stainless-steel with a minimum ½” I.D..
Valves, pressure regulators, flow meters, and fittings should
be high quality 316 stainless-steel or PTFE. In-line valves
should be high quality packless diaphragm valves with
PTFE stem inserts to avoid lubricant contamination within
the lines.
CYCLE-TAINER™ Solvent Delivery System User’s Manual
17
Some site installations may require “line within a line” main
feed or distribution lines from the CYCLE-TAINER system
storage area to point(s) of end use. A site may also require
special preventative spill control measures. Check with your
local fire marshal and applicable building codes on these
requirements.
• Pump with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) diaphragm for high purity solvents (for 1,250 L CYCLE-TOTE systems manufactured prior to October 1998 only).
4.3.5
• Design the system to meet your local fire, safety, materials handling and other regulatory codes.
4.4
Tubing Requirements — Container Directly Fed to Process or Instrumentation (Type B)
CYCLE-TAINER systems can be directly connected
to analytical and production processes. This type of
configuration is usually found in laboratories where one or
more instruments or small-scale processes are being fed
from a single CYCLE-TAINER system in near proximity. Check
with your facility safety officer on storage requirements,
design, and location of your intended system set-up.
• Keep all product lines dedicated to a single product to maintain reliability and purity.
4.3.6 Tubing Requirements — Direct feed from a CYCLE-TAINER System to a J.T.Baker®
CYCLE-TAP Dispenser. (Type C)
CYCLE-TAINER systems can be dispensed by the CYCLE-TAP
Dispenser accessory. Check with your facility safety officer on
storage requirements, design, and location of your intended
system set-up.
5.1
• Gas supply of high quality gas (purity of 99.999%).
• Gas regulator for high purity gases.
• Tubing for solvent.
• Tubing for gas.
18
Incoming Container Checklist
• Verify the proper product
was received. The product name, grade, product
number, and lot number are shown on the product
label on the outside of the container.
Pre-Installation Checklist
• Vent line for PRDA installed (if applicable).
For first time system start-up, you should purge the entire
plumbing system with the product of intended use,
including any dispensing device. Continue to purge until
all air and contamination in the lines are removed. Solvent
should be tested to ensure it meets product specifications
at the point of end use prior to use. Be sure to schedule
time for this step before you begin critical usage of the
CYCLE-TAINER system.
Section 5 Preparation for Use
We suggest the use of flexible stainless-steel or high quality
PTFE tubing for gas lines. If PTFE tubing is used, ensure it is
rated for the supply pressures you intend to use. See System
Accessories, Section 12.1, for tubing sources and CYCLE-TAP
dispenser options.
• Vent line for PRV installed (not applicable on 215 L — Model C).
NOTE: Solvent should be tested
to ensure it meets product
specifications at the point of end
use prior to use.
• All valves, pipes and fittings should be de-greased before installation to maintain solvent purity.
We suggest the use of flexible stainless-steel or high quality
PTFE tubing for gas and solvent lines. If PTFE tubing is used,
ensure it is rated for the supply pressures you intend to use.
See System Accessories, Section 12.1, for tubing sources.
4.3.7
Recommendations for Initial Facility Design and Start-Up
NOTE: Do not apply labels
directly to the container surface.
Any labels that customers apply
should be applied to the plastic
protective sleeve that covers
every CYCLE-TAINER system.
• Check and record the
container serial numbers (bar-coded number on

Section 6 Installation and Connections
6.1
Basic Installations for 4 L, 18 L, 52 L, and 215 L CYCLE TAINER Systems and 1250 L
CYCLE-TOTE Systems Manufactured after
October 1998
The CYCLE-TAINER system is designed as a portable product
supply tank, which uses inert gas pressure to transfer
solvents from the CYCLE-TAINER system, through solvent
supply lines, to point(s) of end use. Product may also be
drawn by demand from a CYCLE-TAINER system by a pump,
such as that from an HPLC or another pump used for high
purity solvents. If pumps are employed, apply a low interior
gas pressure (< 0.5 psig) to blanket the solvent and protect
the solvent from the atmosphere.
Typical CYCLE-TAINER system installations are of three (3)
basic types:
• Type A — Permanently Installed System — distribution from a remote storage location through a main line to a manifold and multiple points of use (Figure 4 in the Appendix).
• Type B — Direct feed from a CYCLE-TAINER system to a process or instrumentation (Figure 5 in the Appendix).
• Type C — Direct feed from a CYCLE-TAINER system to a J.T.Baker® CYCLE-TAP dispenser.

Section 11 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
11.1
Customer Maintenance
Due to the high purity
requirements of products
shipped in CYCLE-TAINER
systems, we ask that
our customers regularly
maintain the physical
cleanliness of containers
while in their care. This
would include:
WARNING: Never tamper with the
container components. Promptly report
any container malfunctions to Customer
Service at 1-855-AVANTOR.
CAUTION: Tampering with container may
result in a severe health hazard.
• Storage indoors whenever possible in cool, clean, covered areas.
• Periodic exterior wipe downs of the containers to remove any accumulated dirt or dust.
• All customer labels should be placed on the protective
plastic sleeve only and not directly on the metal surface of the container. Examples: Quarantine, QC, in-plant destination or other labels not affixed by Avantor.
Other maintenance, such as tampering with dispense head
seals, relief valves, gauges, tightening of valve stem or
removal of dispense head from the container should never
be attempted. Such tampering may invalidate container
compliance with DOT/UN codes rendering the container
un-shippable or result in charges for parts replacement and
container refurbishing.
11.2
Container Malfunctions
If any components of a CYCLE-TAINER system malfunction:
1. Refer to Section 11.3 to find a potential remedy for the
problem.
2. Visit our online customer support portal at
www.askavantor.com and search our knowledgebase of
technical information related to CYCLE-TAINER systems to
find a remedy for the problem.
3. Contact our technical support group for assistance online
at www.avantormaterials.com/askavantor or by calling
1-855-AVANTOR.

Contact the Technical Services department to obtain the
analytical method used by Avantor. Resample and retest using
the same analytical method used by Avantor.
Product purity fails
specifications
When sampled at point of
end use, i.e., after solvent has
flowed through your
plumbing system.
Contamination within the
plumbing system
Sample material directly from the container and analyze. If the
sample meets requirements, there is contamination within your
plumbing system. Flush your plumbing lines thoroughly with the
product and purity grade you will be using. Continue flushing
until it meets analytical specifications at the end use location. For
new plumbing installations, see note below. Note: Most valves,
fittings, and regulators contain trace amounts of lubricants when
received from the factory. We recommend disassembly and
thorough cleaning of these items with the product you will be
using before their installation in your system.
Product flow problems
No or low product flow
No or low inert gas supply
Check the pressure gauges on gas cylinder or source to ensure an
adequate supply is available. Replace the gas tank, if needed.
Product flow problems
No or low product flow
Gas or solvent supply valves
closed
Check to ensure the gas and solvent valves in your system are
open. Open the valves, if needed.
Product flow problems
No or low product flow
Pressure regulator malfunction
Check both the inlet and outlet pressures on all solvent and
gas regulators. Adjust pressure regulator controls. If adequate
pressure is seen on inlet side of regulator and outlet pressure
does not respond to adjustment, repair or replace regulator.
Product flow problems
No or low product flow
Clogged in-line gas or solvent
filter
Check all solvent and gas filters for proper flow. Replace any that
might be clogged or malfunctioning.
Product flow problems
No or low product flow
Obstruction in solvent lines
Verify the solvent flow at various points throughout your
plumbing system. Start with a point closest to the container
and work your way toward the dispensing area. This will help
you pinpoint the area that is obstructed. Repair or replace any
obstructed tubing and/or pipes.
Product flow problems
No or low product flow
Malfunctioning Pressure
Relief Valve or Rupture Disk
Assembly
Check to see if gas is leaking from the PRV or PRDA. If gas is
leaking from these areas turn the gas supply off and contact
Avantor Technical Service Department for assistance.
Product flow problems
Gas, instead of solvent, is
discharged from the container
dispenser
Empty CYCLE-TAINER
container
Check to see if there is any solvent left in the container. If it is
empty, replace the empty container with a full container.
Product flow problems
Excessive gas bubbles in
product supply lines
The type of inert gas used
(Argon, helium, nitrogen)
Check to see which type of gas is being used. Argon is the least
soluble of the three recommended gases. If helium and nitrogen
are being used and excessive bubbling is observed, try argon gas
since it is least likely to cause bubbling.
Product flow problems
Excessive gas bubbles in
product supply lines
Outgassing of dissolved gas
from the solvent
Pressurize and dispense product from the CYCLE-TAINER
containers at the same temperature as the end use. Cool
temperatures at a storage and pressurization point promote
higher gas solution. This can result in outgassing (bubbles) at a
warmer end use location.
Product flow problems
Excessive gas bubbles in
product supply lines
Gas pressure is too high
If solvent pressure regulation is used in your system, minimize
the pressure drop between the container gas pressure and the
regulated solvent pressure. If the container gas pressure is too
high, it unnecessarily increases gas solution in the product.
Product flow problems
Excessive gas bubbles in
product supply lines
Outgassing of dissolved gas
from the solvent
Install a gas accumulator in your solvent line as close to the point
of end use as practical.

12.2 Container and Pallet Handling
Individual 4 L and 18 L CYCLE-TAINER system containers
can be moved to its storage or system hookup area using
a hand truck or dolly. Pallets containing multiple 4 L or 18 L
containers should be moved with an appropriate pallet jack
or motorized fork lift. A motorized fork lift or hand truck can
be used for the transport of the 215 L, 225 L, 1250 L CYCLETAINER systems. The 215 L and 1250 L systems are fitted
with two fork lift channels. There are three basic container
handling tasks that end-users and distribution partners may
need to accomplish: moving pallets of containers, lifting
containers off of pallets, and moving individual containers.
The information below will give you guidance for selecting
equipment for each of these basic tasks.
NOTE: Ensure all CYCLE-TAINER systems
are positioned upright and securely at
their storage site. Ensure all valves and
components are in the closed position
before attempting to move the container.
Prior to moving a container, please refer
to Section 8 and Section of this manual
for system shut-down and removal
guidance.
NOTE: The table listed below shows
recommendations for handling and
moving containers throughout your
facility. It is important that you
understand and follow the United States
Department of Labor Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
guidelines for Powered Industrial Trucks
(29 CFR 1910.178) for safe operation of
fork lifts and jacks.
NOTE: Distributors and/or end-users
must have the ability to unload common
carrier trucks. Most facilities have a

also possible to unload trucks from
street-level using the lifting mechanism
of a fork truck or other mechanized
lifting device. If the distributor and/or
end user is not able to unload a common
carrier truck, then a delivery truck with
a lift gate must be requested.

hexane to 500-X. It is recommended that a final verification
of the system and/or components be done with the
ULTRA RESI-ANALYZED solvent to be used in the system
(Note: do not inject halogenated solvents directly into GCECD instrument).
Maintaining ULTRA RESI-ANALYZED™
Quality in Piping Systems
The quality of the ULTRA RESI-ANALYZED product is easily
affected by trace impurities present in piped transfer
systems (see chromatograms below). These impurities may
interfere with GC-ECD analyses, and to a lesser extent, trace
GC-FID analyses.
• For inert gas supply, use pressure regulators designed for
high purity gases. Diaphragms should be stainless steel with inert seals and seats.
It is practically impossible to rinse contaminated systems to
an acceptable purity level. The best approach is to design
and install a clean system. Given below are a few things that
will help ensure URA quality in the installation of the piped
system.
• Use diaphragm valves.
• Use no lubricants, cutting oils, grease, etc.
• Eliminate threaded joints, where possible.
• Do not use any pipe dope on the pipe threads. Use thread sealant tape.
• Eliminate pockets or dead legs in piping. Run piping so it can drain completely.
ULTRA RESI-ANALYZED Hexane
500-X Concentration on GC-ECD
• Use SWAGELOK® Quick-Connect fittings (QT series). These have stainless steel and wetted parts.
• Transfer hoses should be lined with a stainless steel outer braid.
• The interior material finish for dedicated piping system
finish should be at least #180 grit for valves and other equipment (foundry finish-investment casting).
• If a piping component is suspect in terms of possible
contamination, do not install it on the pipeline until its
cleanliness has been ascertained. Contaminated equipment should be cleaned with solvent or replaced.
• The following procedure may be used to verify component cleanliness.
Rinse the wetted surfaces of the component several
times with J.T.Baker® ULTRA RESI-ANALYZED grade hexane
(product number 9262). Test the final rinse with a neat
injection of the hexane on a gas chromatograph equipped
with an Electron Capture Detector (GC-ECD). Compare
this chromatogram to that of the starting solvent. Higher
levels of detection may be obtained by concentrating the
