Part 3. Packed glass columns
Glass packed columns must be installed simultaneously at the inlet and the
detector and must be installed parallel to the oven door:
You can install glass packed columns directly in the purged-packed inlet, ECD,
and adaptable NPD, FID, and FPD fittings. The TCD requires an adapter.
There are three types of glass packed columns available. You must make certain
that your column is compatible with the inlet fitting and detector used. Table 16
summarizes the inlet and detector fittings required and the appropriate column
configuration.

1. See Table 16 for information on fittings and column configuration required.
