Make sure you are using a nut and ferrule that are compatible with each other and with
the components of your system
Check the condition of the nut and ferrule
After repeated use, nuts (and especially ferrules) will gradually become deformed to the
point of being incapable of creating the seal they were designed to make. Always keep an
extra supply of all the nuts and ferrules you are using so that you can replace them quickly
and avoid un-necessary down time.
Check the receiving port for damage
Sometimes a leaking connection has nothing at all to do with the nut and ferrule, but
with the receiving port. Ports that have had stainless steel fittings swaged into them are
especially susceptible to damage. Check the receiving port for visible burrs or scratches
and replace if necessary.
Evaluate chemical compatibility
Using fittings made of material that is incompatible with solvents used is a sure way of creating
leaks and damaging the instrument.
