5.3.1.  Fluid interfaces 
GasLab Q2 has 2 gas inlets and two gas outlets, each of which is protected by a flame arrester. Two 
breathing points are used to enable atmospheric pressure equalisation between the inside of the 
device and the environment.  
An overview of all gas inlets and breathing elements is shown in the following figure:

Main breather with  
¼" NPT connection thread for pipelines  
as described in section 2.6. If a pipe-
line is connected, it must be separate 
from all other vent (waste) gas lines. 
Auxiliary breathers (on the reverse) 
Pipeline connection 
not possible and not required 
Figure 5.2: Definition of fluid connections 
The gas connections are always equipped by the manufacturer in the standard version with 6 mm 
Swagelok pipe screw unions. Alternatively, ¼ " is possible.  
The process gas connection (bottom left) has an internal particle filter, which serves only as device 
protection and is not a replacement for a primary filtration system. The right gas inlet is used to 
connect the operating calibration gas or particle-free test gases.  
The inlet pressure must not exceed the engraved maximum pressure at any inlet
