Measuring hydrogen gas flows
Do not measure hydrogen together with air or oxygen. This can
create explosive mixtures that may be ignited by the automatic
igniter. To avoid this hazard: 1. Turn the automatic igniter off
before you begin. 2. Always measure gases separately.
When measuring gas flows on a detector using hydrogen for the
detector flame or GC carrier gas, measure the hydrogen flow
separately. Never allow an air stream to enter when hydrogen is
present in the flow meter.
Ozone is a hazardous gas and a strong oxidant. Exposure to ozone
should be minimized by using the instrument in a well-ventilated
area and by venting the exhaust of the vacuum pump to a fume
hood. The ozone generator should be turned off when the
instrument is not in use.
Oxygen rich environments can promote combustion, and even
result in spontaneous combustion under conditions of high
pressure and exposure to contamination. Use only oxygen-rated
components, and ensure that components are oxygen clean prior
to use with pure oxygen.
