Part 2. NonEPC control
Detectors
NonEPC detectors have internal single-stage pressure regulators for some gas
streams. You should still use external two-stage regulators.
You may also want to use traps to remove contaminants from the gas supply. If
so, they should be as close to the back of the GC as possible.
Internal/external plumbing: FID and NPD without EPC
Hydrogen and air flows for these detectors are controlled by external pressure
regulators and internal flow restrictors. Makeup gas is controlled by an internal
pressure regulator located behind the detector positions. See the Detectors
volume for flow rate details.
