Repacking a split insert

Since, for a split insert, its packing material is discarded in cleaning, the insert must be repacked.

Note: Repacking with small•diameterglass beads is not recommended: they are usually contaminated with metal filings due to sieving procedures used. If they must be used, thorough cleaning (chemical and physical) is required.

CUse a fresh, small amount of a conventional coated packing such as 2% OV•1on 100/120 mesh, Chromosorb W•HP.

CPacking is held in place between plugs of silanized glass wool (Part No. 8500•1572).
