Replacing the NPD Bead

Instruction Guide

NPD Cleanliness

Below is an overview of typical NPD leakage currents for a 
system set to recommended flows and temperature.

When changing insulators and seals, cool the detector to 75 °C 
or below. This will minimize the chance of stripping the three 
T- 20 Torx screws.

The installation of traps is recommended for the detector, 
hydrogen, air, and make- up gas. A moisture trap followed by 
chemical traps is highly recommended.

CLEAN

1.0+

Dirty

Decrease in sample response.

10+

Very dirty

Almost no sample response.
Cause is usually contaminated ceramic 
insulators on the collector - usually the 
upper insulator and seal.
