3 Inlets
These numbers are based on the resistance to flow of new, clean
inlet systems. Sample condensation in the split vent tube or a
dirty filter can make these values non-attainable.
Selecting the correct S/SL inlet liner
Split liner
A good liner for split mode operation will offer very little
restriction to the split flow path between the bottom of the liner
and the inlet gold seal and between the outside of the liner and
the inside of the injection port body. The preferred Agilent split
liner, part number 5183-4647, incorporates a glass positioning
bead on the bottom to facilitate this. It will also incorporate
glass wool or some other source of surface area inside the liner
that provides for complete sample vaporization across the
boiling point range of the sample. Select an appropriate liner
from Table 4.
