Failure to set fl ow rates on both sides causes oxidation and destruction of the
fi laments in the presence of oxygen.
1. Make sure that
ALL
switches are in the
OFF
position.
2. Set helium (or other carrier gas) pressure regulator to 40 psig. A minimum of 20 psig
is necessary.
3. Adjust carrier gas to: 30 mL/min. for 1/8" columns
60 mL/min. for 1/4" columns
4. Check for leaks as described in Chapter 3.
5. Disconnect fl owmeter.
6. Allow 5 minutes to purge the system before turning power
