GAS CYLINDERS AND GAS SUPPLY LINES
n See Gas for Analyzer Test on page2 - 11 for the analytical gases needed during install-
ation. Gas cylinders must be placed within 6 ft (2 m) of the analyzer inlet valves
n The customer is required to ensure the purity of gases.
n It is required that the 1/8 in. × 6 ft (2 m) single piece copper gas line in the analyzer accessories
kit is used. Stainless steel gas lines are available from Micromeritics for use with gases that are
not compatible with copper.
Gas lines not supplied by Micromeritics will not be installed by Micromeritics Service
Personnel.
Gas supply lines made of materials other than copper or stainless steel may cause
operational problems.
n Do not use gas cylinders with less than 500 psig (3549 kPag) pressure.
n Do not use any other gas lines to connect the gas supply to the analyzer except those supplied
in the accessories kit. Use of other gas lines will result in a nonstandard installation. See Install-
ation Configuration on page2 - 3.
n Do not use gas purifiers; they can cause operational problems. Oxygen traps are preferred.
