Pilot column under high pressure
Eye or skin injuries possible due to remaining pressure in the tubing or in the pilot
column.
► Stop the pump during work on the pilot column.
► During work on the pilot column, wear the prescribed personnel protective

A pressure test is used to check the tightness of both the seals in the pilot column and
also the tubing connectors. Before using the column for chromatographic applications,
it is recommended that a pressure test is performed to verify the correct assembly.
Prior to delivery of the column, the column has been tested according to the standard
procedure listed below. The relevant certificate is located in the documentation folder.
