4.4.4 Guidelines for connections
Introduction
This section provides guidelines for the connection of process components to
ÄKTAprocess.
Process connections
•
Use piping or tubing that has an internal diameter sufficient for the flow rate specified.
The inner diameter of the tubing and its connections should be greater than or equal
to the corresponding diameter of the system.
•
Inlet and outlet containers shall be located and arranged so that back pressure and
suction height remains within system specification limits, refer to Section 8.1 Specifi-
cations, on page164 and the technical information in the system-specific documen-
tation package.
•
Keep the tubing lengths as short as possible to minimize hold-up volume in the sys-
tem.
•
Route the tubing to minimize the risk of tripping when operating the instrument and
connected equipment.
•
If any tubing or hose should be violently pulled by an accidental tripping, check for
damage, leakage and mechanical rigidity before continuing operation.
•
The chemical properties of the tubing used must meet or exceed the properties
specified in Section 8.2 Chemical resistance, on page 167.
