Standard Practice for Testing Electrolytic Conductivity Detectors (ELCD) Used in Gas Chromatography

Importancia y uso:

3.1 Although it is possible to observe and measure each of the several characteristics of the ELCD under different and unique conditions, in particular its different modes of selectivity, it is the intent of this practice that a complete set of detector specifications should be obtained at the same operating conditions, including geometry, gas and solvent flow rates, and temperatures. It should be noted that to specify a detector's capability completely, its performance should be measured at several sets of conditions within the useful range of the detector. The terms and tests described in this practice are sufficiently general so that they may be used at whatever conditions may be chosen for other reasons.

3.2 Linearity and speed of response of the recorder used should be such that it does not distort or otherwise interfere with the performance of the detector. Effective recorder response should be sufficiently fast so that it can be neglected in sensitivity of measurements. If additional amplifiers are used between the detector and the final readout device, their characteristics should also first be established.
