    2 Introduction 2.1 General description The Process Gas Chromatograph, Fast Simulated Distillation PGC5009 (Fast GC), analyzes samples with wide variations in component boiling points or molecular weights, much faster than standard process gas chromatographs. It automatically samples and analyzes process streams, using the analyzer’s Master Controller to control analytical functions. It maintains the same look and feel as the standard PGC5000 Process Gas Chromatograph.

    PGC5009 PGC5009 Fast GC Oven Appendix 3 Software & Setup Carbon Number Calibration uses standard peak analysis to measure the Retention Time and Response Factor for the defined set of Carbon Number Components used to generate the time vs. boiling point relationship. For example, the standard 19 components of an ASTM-D3710 Carbon Number Calibration are shown in Figure 3.1.

  • Page 10: Sample Run

    PGC5009 PGC5009 Fast GC Oven Appendix 3 Software & Setup 3.3.3 Sample run During a Sample Run (Analysis Run), the process sample to undergo Simulated Distillation is injected. Gating for data collection is turned on right after the time of the first Cal peak and it is turned off right before the time of the last Cal peak. It is essential that the sample fully elutes between the times of the first and last Calibration peaks.

  • Page 18: Technical Description

    4 Technical description 4.1 General description The PGC5009 Oven Assembly consists of a Column Housing and an Electronics Housing (see Figure 4.1). The Column Housing contains the detector, column, and liquid sample valve. The Electronics Housing contains the Detector Amplifier PCB, Power Supply, DTC Control PCB, EPC Control PCB, EPC Controller Assembly, and pneumatic operated solenoid drivers.

  • Page 19: Column Housing

    4.3.3 Detector The standard detector for the PGC5009 is the flame ionization detector (FID). The detector, mounted on top of the column, is explosion proof by design. This detector has a heater block surrounding it; otherwise it is the same as that used in the standard PGC5000.
