Fid Repair - ABB PGC2000 Operation And Service Manual

Do not use high speed cutting wheels or grinders to cut capillary columns. This
type of cutting generates heat that can damage the column and the resultant
column cuttings could plug the column.
1. Use a diamond or ceramic scoring tool to score the surface of the outside tubing wall
approximately one inch from the end of the column. Take care not to cut through the tubing wall.
2. Wipe the scored area clean to prevent material from entering the column.
3. Secure the column with your fingers 1/2-inch on each side of the score and gently bend the
tubing at the score, in the direction opposite the score. When the score point opens, bend the
tubing back towards the score. The tubing should make a clean break.
4. Inspect the end of the column for roundness and ensure it is burr free. If the end is not round and
burr free, repeat the procedure until it is.
5. The column is now ready for installation.
