Specific warnings
The following warnings can appear in the user manuals of particular
instruments and on labels affixed to them or their component parts.
Burst warning
This warning applies to Waters instruments fitted with nonmetallic tubing.
Pressurized nonmetallic, or polymer, tubing can burst.
Warning:
Observe these precautions when working around such tubing:
• Wear eye protection.
• Extinguish all nearby flames.
• Do not use tubing that is, or has been, stressed or kinked.
• Do not expose nonmetallic tubing to incompatible compounds like
tetrahydrofuran (THF) and nitric or sulfuric acids.
• Be aware that some compounds, like methylene chloride and
dimethyl sulfoxide, can cause nonmetallic tubing to swell, which
significantly reduces the pressure at which the tubing can rupture.
