Remove the protective cap from the transfer line.
8 Depending on the type of tubing you are using in the
transfer line, do the following:
Uncoated deactivated fused silica tubing: Uncoil about
1 m of the 530 µm uncoated deactivated fused silica
tubing.
ProSteel tubing: Cut a ProSteel metal capillary (0.53 mm
ID with maximum OD of 0.67 mm) to approximately 1 m
in length using a precision tubing cutter.
9 If using ProSteel tubing and you intend to operate at
temperatures 200 °C and higher, you must use the
ProSteel protective sleeve with the ProSteel tubing.
Without the ProSteel protective sleeve, the ProSteel tubing
can permanently bind to the heated conduit tube. If using
fused silica tubing, skip this step.
To install the ProSteel protective sleeve:
a Trim the ProSteel protective sleeve to match the length
of the transfer line (approximately 1 m), plus or minus
a few millimeters.
b Straighten the ProSteel tubing and protective sleeve.
c Slide the ProSteel tubing into the protective sleeve.
