Changing the Carrier Gas Cartridge
The standard helium carrier gas cartridge for the Torion T-9 GC/MS will provide carrier gas for as
many as 300 runs at 25 psi (175 kPa) operating pressure.
1. Turn the Torion T-9 GC/MS instrument off.
2. Press the Vent Cartridge button if you need to empty the Helium cartridge at the end of the
Shutdown cycle, as discussed in Basic Operation.
NOTE: This would typically be done if you need to remove the helium cartridge, before transporting the
Torion T-9 GC/MS system on a commercial aircraft. In most situations, the helium cartridge does not
need to be vented during the shutdown process.
3. Using the cartridge tool, remove the old helium cartridge by unscrewing it counter-
clockwise.
4. Attach the new helium cartridge tightly by hand by screwing it in clockwise.
