2.2 Piping
IMPORTANT
• Do not remove the blind plugs at the analyzer piping connections until starting piping work to
prevent deterioration of the columns. On the condition that carrier gas is not supplied even
after the blind plugs are taken out or while the analyzer is out of operation, the column has
theriskofdeterioration.Inthesecondition,xthetheblindplugsateachventwithcarrier
gas enclosed.
• Useananti-corrosionmaterialforthepipesandpipettings.
• Never use pipes with too large a diameter for the sample inlet piping to reduce the dead
time. However, use a little larger pipe for the exhaust line so as not to apply back pressure to
the venting lines.
• Usepipesandpipettingsfreefrominteriorcontaminationsuchasgrease,oilorother
substances. The contamination damage the analyzer. Before connecting the pipes,
completely air-purge their interiors.
• Carefully connect the pipes so that there is no leakage from the pipe connections such as
the joints.
• Useltersorotherappropriatepipettingstopreventdust,moisture,orotherforeignmatter
from getting into the analyzer.
2.2.1 Types of Piping and Installation
The types of piping are shown below.
Notethatthetypesofpipingandquantitiesofindividualpipesrequiredvarywiththe
specicationssuchastheanalyzertypeanddetectortype(TCD,FID,orFPD).
Seetheowsheetsinthe“OperationData”forimplementingpiping.
