G1311A Leak Test Failure

Discussions about HPLC, CE, TLC, SFC, and other "liquid phase" separation techniques.

Hi all,

One of our 1311A's failed the leak test; specifically, during plateau 2 the pressure change was -2 bar/min instead of >0.

I have swapped out the seals (and worn them in), as well as installed a new piston and a new outlet check valve. Everything seems snug but the result is the same (~ -2 to -3 bar/min). I don't know where my pump is leaking and I am out of ideas. Can anyone help?

Thanks
KS
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
swap out other piston

check the purge valve, some leak after a time, and tough to notice because of it's waste tubing
