How should Splitter Flow be adjusated

[atharwasim]

in online GC application, How should splitter flow should be adjusted. When injection Valve is 'on' to delute the sample or otherwise when sample is being flushed

Online GCs usually have specialist inlet plumbing that does not necessarily conform to the usual split-splitless inlet of a bench GC. You need to refer to the operating instructions for the specific instrument that you are working with.

I want to know the mean of 100:1 split ratio.

how it is releated to total flow, split vent flow and column flow

praveenpaliwal,

If your column flow is 0.5 mL/min, your are also sending 50 mL/min out the split vent and only loading 1/100th of the sample injected on column. If your column flow is 2 mL/min you are sending 200 mL/min out the split vent and only loading 1/100th of the sample on the column. In the first case you might be supplying a total flow to the injector of, perhaps, 55 mL/min: 0.5 for column, 50 for the split and 4.5 for the septum purge. Rarely works this cleanly but you get the idea.

Best regards.
