Connect the primary gas line to the
GAS 1
port. If desired, connect a secondary gas to the
GAS 2
port.
Refer to
for reference.
NOTE
: The flow rate is controlled through settings chosen using the instrument control software.

Connect the 1/8-inch Teflon TFE tubing from the instrument to the purge gas inlet, as shown below.

Make sure that the pressure of your purge gas source is regulated between 70 and 140 kPa gauge
(10 and 20 psig, respectively).
CAUTION: The GAS 1 and GAS 2 lines feeds into a pressure relief valves that are set to 140 kPa
gauge (20 psig). The source pressure setting should not go above this value.
MISE EN GARDE: Les conduites de gaz 1 et 2 alimentent une soupape de détente de pression réglée
à 140 kPa (pression manométrique) (20 psig). Le réglage de la pression à la source ne doit pas
dépasser cette valeur.

Set the sample flow rate to the recommended value for your experiments (depending on furnace type)
through the Control Panel options within TRIOS instrument control software. Refer to Table 3 on page 24
for a list of recommended purge rates for the different furnaces.
WARNING: If connecting oxygen, it should ONLY be connected to the GAS 2 port.
AVERTISSEMENT: Tout raccordement de l'oxygène doit s'effectuer UNIQUEMENT sur l'orifice à
gaz 2.
