6 Checking for Leaks
If the pressure drops much faster than the acceptable rate,
see “To Correct Leaks in the Split Splitless Inlet”. Retest.
Note that liner size impacts pressure drop. An inlet with a
smaller volume liner does not tolerate as large a leak rate as
an inlet with a larger volume liner.
20 After the inlet passes the test, restore the GC to operating
condition.
• Remove any caps/plugs.
• Reinstall the column.
• Restore the correct column configuration.
• Load the operating method.
