Liner/Adapter

Typical Installed Detector Liner/Adapter

Detectors require a liner/adapter to be installed when used with packed metal columns (either 1/8•or 1/4•inch),and with any type of capillary column. Normally, no liner is required with 1/4•inchpacked glass columns, since the leg of the column itself serves as the liner.

For the FID or NPD, the correct detector jet must be installed prior to installation of the liner. (If jets must be exchanged, see Chapter 8, Preventive Maintenance.)
