If there are no leaks, the total flow will drop to
the sum of the column flow + septum purge
flow.
If there are leaks in the inlet, the total flow will
be greater than expected. Since the flow sensor
is a readout device only in splitless prep run, it
will measure any flow that escapes the inlet via
a leak.
