ECD and TCD adapters
A makeup gas adapter must be installed in the ECD or TCD base to
install a capillary column, and to augment carrier flow through the
column with additional gas flow needed for optimal detector operation.
The adapter must be removed for packed column applications.
In addition, to install an HP Series 530
capillary column in an ECD or
TCD having no capillary makeup gas adapter, the following adapters are
used: Part No. 19244•80550for the ECD, and Part No. 18740•20950and
18740•20960for the TCD.
Finally, to use a 1/4•inchcolumn with the TCD (having a base designed
for 1/8•inchcolumns), a 1/8•to 1/4•inchadapter is required (Part No.
19302•80020). For the ECD (having a base designed for 1/4•inch
columns), to use a 1/8•inchcolumn, a 1/4•to 1/8•inchadapter is required
(Part No. 19301•80530).
