Wow, the original author!  Hi Steve, Similarly,  I had the  MKS sensor and
pluming placed in a cooler,  but surrounded the detector with lots of freezer
packs to give the device some thermal inertia. Seemed to work within the sensors
time constant. ( very fine needle valve)

From the cooler box to the silicon tubing was about 1.5 meters of stiff  hose. The
sensor tubing was 6 meters of  "BMDGB0802"  ( 7.9 X 12.7 mm) Silicon tube that
was obtained  from a medical supply company. Its wall thickness is 2.4 mm. I do
know their is a thinner wall thickness tube but the cost nearly doubled, so the 2.4mm

was the one. This tube was then wound in a tight coil.

It was housed in a special building at work, but if it were,  housed in a big
box with ventilation holes +  air conditioner filters and baffles then that should
mimic the building.

Cheers

Arie
