To Measure a Split Vent or Septum Purge Flow
Septum purge and split vent flows exit through the
pneumatic module at the top rear of the GC. See the figure
below.
To measure split vent or septum purge flows, attach the
flowmeter to the appropriate tube. Remove the GC
pneumatics cover to access the back inlet exhausts.
WARNING
Hydrogen (H
2
) is flammable and is an explosion hazard when
mixed with air in an enclosed space (for example, a flow meter).
Purge flowmeters with inert gas as needed. Always measure
gases individually. Always turn off detectors to prevent
flame/bead autoignition.
