6.3.2 Tenax Concentrator
The Tenax concentrator is also used for analyzing samples with concentration levels
in the low part per million to high part per trillion range. The Tenax concentrator will
not effectively concentrate compounds with boiling points below 80
°C, but may be
more effective at concentrating compounds with higher boiling points.
The Tenax concentrator will not effectively concentrate
compounds with boiling points below 80°C.
For concentrator installation instructions, refer to section 3.3.7, Replacing the
Concentrator, on page 3-21 for instructions. Once installed, the concentrator must
be cleaned before sampling begins.

Selecting a New Method, on page 6-11.
