the biggest safety concerns with this lab involved the small glass beads that acted as the solid in the experiment. If the gas flow rate goes below 50 standard cubic feet per hour (SCFH)‚ the small glass beads could enter the flow meters. This would result in damages to the flow meters and in flow meters giving false readings which in return could result in the team‚ conducting the experiment‚ to adjust flow

In 1903 a French chemist Edouard Benedictus accidentally dropped one of his flasks on the ground even though the glass broke it did not shatter. He later found out it did not shatter due to the element that was held in it which was liquid nitrate solution. In 1909 Benedictus successfully filled a patent in France for his glass. In 1914 Benedictus moved to The
