k. Expect a K-factor of about 0.7 – 0.9 for a 15 m, 0.25 mm i.d. column (1.3 – 2.0 for
a 30 m, 0.25 mm i.d. column). If the column does not report a K-factor within this
range or within 0.1 units of the previous stored value, check for a leak or broken
column using the leak detector. The K-factor is a measured resistance for the column.
A K-factor that is too low may indicate a leak in the system, while a K-factor that is
too high may indicate a blockage.
4. Perform a column leak check.
a.
Carefully push the capillary column end into the column section of the column-flow
meter connector, as shown in
.

menu.
c.
Scroll to a channel to open the left or right column’s leak check menu.
CAUTION - INSTRUMENT DAMAGE:
Do not allow the clear plastic component to
exceed 80 °C. Otherwise, it will melt and damage the instrument.
Note
The available options (Right column or Left column) will differ depending
on the configuration of your GC.
