Connecting the tubing
If Pump P-960 is a standard component in the chromatography system,
the tubings are installed at delivery.
The exact tubing dimensions required for different sample application
techniques are described in the system documentation, or in the
ÄKTAdesign Optional Configurations User Manual.
2.5.1
Connection part to pressure
sensor tubing
This is a pre-bent tubing (PEEK,
i.d. 1.0 mm, o.d. 1/16"), which is
connected at delivery.
The tubing is connected with 1/16"
finger-tight fittings between one of
the connection part outlets and the
pressure sensor inlet.
A stop plug is connected to the other
connection part outlet.
2.5.2
Pump inlet tubing
1
Connect a 1/16" female/ M6 male union to the pump inlet.
2
Connect the pump inlet tubing (ETFE, i.d. 1.0 mm) to the union
using a 1/16" finger-tight connector.
Note: In ÄKTAexplorer™ systems, route this tubing through the
Connection part to pressure sensor tubing loop. Otherwise,
it might become entangled in nearby objects when closing
the door.
2.5.3
Pressure sensor outlet tubing
Connect the outlet tubing (ETFE, i.d. 1.0 mm) to the upper port on the
pressure sensor housing. Use a 1/16" finger-tight PEEK connector or a
connector with the same threading (UNF 10–32).
WARNING! HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS.
Incorrectly fitted tubing
might loosen, causing a jet of liquid to spray out. This is especially
dangerous if hazardous chemicals are being used. Connect the
tubing by first inserting the tubing fully, then tightening the connector
fingertight.
