I see that one of my colums function is to seperate CO2 from the ramp.... What is the ramp?

Your test method is worded ambiguously; however, what it simply means is that you'll want to name/identify the peak for CO2 on the elution profile.

I just heard the term HC ramp. Just wondering what causes a ramp on a gram.

In gas chromatography a ramp usually refers to the temperature increase during temperature programming, which makes no sense at all in your context.

And a gram is a unit of weight - gratuitous use of undefined abbreviations leads to the kind of misunderstanding that you are asking us to resolve.

Ramps are allium tricocum, a wild leek. Should be easy to separate a plant from a gas.

even better in Dutch "ramp" = a disaster

It sounds poorly worded by the column manufacturer but I wonder if it means that it separates CO2 from baseline rise(ramp) at the end of the run?
