Abstract :
Summary form only. The design and the operation of the fluid delivery, monitor, and control systems for the SLD Cerenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) are discussed. The systems are now fully operational and delivering TPC gas (C2H6+TMAE), radiator gas (C 5F12+N2), and radiator liquid (C6 F14). Critical quantities such as electron lifetime in the drift gas and ultraviolet transparencies of the radiator fluids have been measured
