Preparing packed metal columns
Before installing these columns, a ferrule should be locked on the column end
so that it is flush with the end of the column. This prevents problems caused by
dead volume in the fitting.
Use the following instructions to install new SWAGELOK nuts and ferrules onto
1/8-inch or 1/4-inch metal columns. If your column already has ferrules installed,
proceed to the instructions on installing adapters (page 128) or installing packed
metal columns (page 129).
Recommended
Minimum exposed column
Not Recommended
Too much column extends past the ferrule;
may cause problems due to dead volume.
