The vacuum level is ~ 450 mTorr using a standard N2 PURGED fomblin oiled rotary vane pump. It's a dedicated Glass BellJar system with a graphite heater plate (~ 300 C). I don't know the exact flow, as we use a needle valve to adjust the pressure. Charles?

H2 in air has a lower flammable limit (LFL) of 4.7. The lower explosive limit is more like ~19% in air under ideal conditions. Given a starting point o 5% H2 in pure N2 the LFL will be higher. To adjust this for reality I'll share my experiences. I routinely used 20% H2 in N2 to seal vacuum tubes with an open flame and never saw combustion. Ditto for 10%. These mixes were used for decades before me in UC Tube Laboratory before I joined that group so there is a long history of safety. Hi-vacuum brazing was routinely done under vacuum with forming gas added as a reducing agent (and often pure H2).
