Venting Gases
During normal operation of the GC with the SCD, NCD, FID, other detectors
and split/splitless inlet purge, some of the carrier gas and sample vents
outside the GC. In addition, the vacuum pump will vent a small amount of
ozone and other combustion products. If the components of the sample are
toxic or noxious, vent the exhaust from the GC outlets to a fume hood. Also,
vent the exhaust from the vacuum pump to a fume hood.
WARNING
Secure all gas cylinders to an immovable structure or permanent wall. Store compressed
gases in accordance with all safety codes.
WARNING
Wear eye protection when using compressed gas to avoid possible eye injury.
