Abstract :
The design and operation of the fluid delivery, monitor, and control systems for the SLD barrel Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) are described. The systems deliver drift gas (C2H6+TMAE), radiator gas (C5F12 +N2), and radiator liquid (C6F14). Measured critical quantities such as electron lifetime in the drift gas and ultraviolet (UV) transparencies of the radiator fluids, together with the operational experience, are reported
