Compressed and Liquid Gas Usage Policy

  • Faculty must fill out and submit the gas usage form when picking up compressed or liquefied gases from the storage area for the Safety Office. Keys for access to the gases can be obtained either from the Department Office/Stockroom or from the Safety Office.
     
  • Common compressed and liquefied gases will be charged to faculty either from G, RS, or other permissible accounts using the rates indicated on the form. Specialty, mixed, and ultra-high purity gases not itemized on the form will be charged at actual cost to the College. The listed prices are subject to change by the vendor and current prices can be obtained from CNSM Forms and Documents.
     
  • Charges for compressed and liquefied gases for teaching purposes will be passed on to the relevant Departments. All gases used for teaching require Chair (or designee) signature for approval. These will be paid either through course fees, Lottery, or can be requested for payment by the College.
     
  • Faculty having no funds to pay for gases (G or RS accounts) may request a payment waiver using the back of the appropriate form. The waiver must be justified as well as provide information on how the user will pay for gases in the future.

Effective July 1, 2011. Approved by the Council of Department Chairs, College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
