Figure 280. FPD Gases Measuring Tool
Note For measuring the flows use the male hose adapter. The plug must be used
instead the male hole adapter when a leak test is required.
6. Place the flowmeter tubing over the male hose adapter of the measuring tool to begin
measuring flows.
7. Measure the gas flow rate.
a. Open the GC user interface.
b. Turn the Hydrogen flow On.
i. Measure the gas flow and verify that the actual flow rate corresponds to the
setpoint value.
c. Turn the hydrogen flow Off.
d. Turn the Air supply On.
i. Measure the gas flow and verify that the actual flow rate corresponds to the
setpoint value.
e. Turn the Air flow Off.
8. Remove the flowmeter tubing from the male hose adapter of the measuring tool.
9. Remove the measuring tool from the chimney.
10. Replace the chimney cap over the chimney.
11. Remove the blind cap from the bottom of the detector.
12. Reconnect the column end into the bottom of the detector.
