I was wondering whether anyone could tell me what the name of this part is and if possible, where to find a replacement. It was the connector between the microbomb calorimeter in my lab and the oxygen tank, but it's not letting oxygen into the bomb anymore. I can't find any information online about it, and I'm pretty sure the company that made the Phillipson microbomb is no longer around. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like a needle valve or a resistance control. Try the engineering drawing on page 176 of the "Handbook of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry: From macromolecules to man", published by Elsevier. Sorry I have no link but it's on Google books. Several manufacturers are mentioned for the entire apparatus. Edit: not sure if this is a dynamic link, if not it should work to see the drawing: http://books.google.com/books?id=sqZ2p9AzKNIC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=Phillipson%20microbomb&f=false

This is Volume 5 of a Handbook that has been well-received by the thermal analysis and calorimetry community.... The fifth volume covers recent advances in techniques and applications that complement the earlier volumes....
Besides, the only 2 guys of the Bernoulli family I ever heard of did statistical distributions. Chemistry was probably done by the cousins across town...
