3.10 Required gases and gas consumption
3.10.1
The used helium and argon carrier gases must correspond to at least Class 5.0
(99.999%). The following inlet pressure must be correctly adjusted for proper func-
46
tion of the measuring element:
Pressure monitoring takes place with a pressure transducer arranged in the gas distri-
bution. The analytical computer monitors the output signal of the pressure transducer.
The total carrier gas consumption varies as follows depending on the column pres-
sure and variant:
Note
Since helium, in particular, escapes through the smallest leaks, careful
sealing and inspection of the system is very important.
