Figure 356. Using a Flowmeter for Leak Check
A
b. If your GC is equipped with the touch screen user interface, select the Leak Check
icon in the Maintenance menu, otherwise perform the Leak Check through the
Chromatography Data System by selecting the proper function.
c. Start the leak check to begin operation. The split and purge valves of the selected
channel are automatically closed and the channel is pressurized with carrier gas to the
leak check setpoint.
d. The system monitors the pressure for one minute. If the pressure does not drop more
than the maximum allowed sensitivity value, then the leak check will pass.
If the leak check did not pass, you should use the leak detector to find and fix the
leaks.
Tip Leaks can be caused by not tightening the fitting on the column-flowmeter
connector. We recommend that you check that fitting before looking elsewhere.
e. Repeat the leak check until no leaks are indicated.
22. Calibrate the carrier gas flow (column evaluation).
a. Carefully push the capillary column end into the flow meter section of the column-
flowmeter connector. See
Figure 357. Column Flowmeter Connector
A
b. Connect the flowmeter to the dedicated fitting on the column-flowmeter connector.
