A.1.1.1 Burst warning
This warning applies to Waters instruments and devices fitted with nonmetallic tubing.

Warning:
(Risk of exposure to biological agents that can pose a serious health
threat.)
Warning:
(Risk of tipping.)

Warning:
To avoid injury from bursting, nonmetallic tubing, heed these
precautions when working in the vicinity of such tubing when it is pressurized:
• Wear eye protection.
• Extinguish all nearby flames.
• Do not use tubing that is, or has been, stressed or kinked.
• Do not expose nonmetallic tubing to compounds with which it is chemically
incompatible: tetrahydrofuran, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid, for example.
• Be aware that some compounds, like methylene chloride and dimethyl
sulfoxide, can cause nonmetallic tubing to swell, significantly reducing the
pressure at which the tubing can rupture.
