SUMMARY
Bayonet connections are critical components in cryostats used for liquid helium transfer, allowing for quick engagement and disengagement by turning the connector through a small angle. This mechanism is essential for maintaining the integrity of the helium flow in cryostats. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the specific application of bayonet connections in the context of helium flow cryostats, which are commonly used in cryogenic systems.
