3000 Micro GC Operating Manual
8.3.7 Running a High Pressure Liquid Petroleum Gas Sample
This procedure applies to high pressure LPG samples using an INFICON Heated
Vaporizer accessory:
NOTE: The accessories for all 3000 Micro GC types are the same except for their
mounting brackets.
1 If the Heated Vaporizer for LPG sampling is not installed, install it as instructed
in section 5.1.6, Installing Heated Sample Introduction Accessories, on page
5-17.
WARNING
The LPG sample is stored at high pressure. Do not
expose the sample vessel to excessive heat or flame.
WARNING
Vent the high and low pressure exhausts to a safe
environment, such as a fume hood or dedicated exhaust.
When 3000 Micro GC used in a vehicle, vent the high and
low pressure exhausts outside of the vehicle and away
from any sources of ignition.
CAUTION
The sample to 3000 Micro GC must be relatively clean
and dry. While the 2 micron filter will remove many
particulate contaminants, samples containing aerosols,
excessive amounts of particulate matter, high
concentrations of water, and other contaminants can
damage 3000 Micro GC.
