. , Chromatograph end Censole 1.0 PURPOSE i

The purpose of this instruction is to provide directions for operating the Perkin-Elmer Sigma 3B Gas Chromatograph and the Perkin-Elmer Sigma 15 Console.

2.0 REFERENCES

2.1 Perkin-Elmer Corporation; Instructions:

2.1.1 Sigma 3B Gas Chromatograph 2.1.2 Sigma Series Console 2.2 Practical Gas Chron'aloEraphy-for. the Users of Perkin-Elmer Gas Chromatographs; Perkin-Elmer 990-9389; 1973 3.0 DEFINITIONS j 3.1 Sigma 3B Gas Chromatograph - The Sigma 3B is a versatile, single or dual column, temperature programmable gas chromatograph equipped with an 1/8 inch stainless steel 5 Molar Sieve Column, 6 feet in length, and a Hot Wire Thermal Conductivity Detector (HWD) which compares the thermal conductivity of the components in an injected gas sample with the thermal conductivity of the carrier gas flowing continuously, through a reference cell.

3.2 Sigma 15 Console - The console is a versatile laboratory data system that functions as a data processor, a teletypewriter terminal, and a printer / plotter. The console features Read Only Memory (ROM) with a capacity of 15K two-byte (16 bit) words and Random Access Memory (RAM) with a capacity of 4K words. The system provides the means by which an operator can, by utilizing keyboard directives and conversation, operate the console to collect and reduce data from the chromatograph, print out analysis data reports, establish analyzer chromatographic conditions, initiate operation of auxiliary devices at the times required, and build and store methods and files for later use.

3.3 Default Method - Used to establish a data link between the chromatograph and the console, to adjust the baseline, to run unknown gases to determine peak elution times and areas, and to calculate area and base sensitivities for use in an analysis method.

3.4 Quantitative Analysis Methods - There are three different quantitative ,

analysis methods. These are:

, Chrom tegraph cnd Console 3.4.1 Normalization Analysis - In this method, the system automatically applies a factor of 100 so that the concentrations are expressed as percent. This method suffers from the disadvantage that the reported concentration of any one component depends upon the concentration of every other peak in the file, so that any change affecting the total peak area such as noise, baseline upset, or other factors can affect the concentration for a particular peak.

Directions for generating a normalization method are given by defaulting (0) the standard weight on the STD WT, SMP WT line.

3.4.2 Internal Standard Analysis - The analysis method presented fully in this instruction, is the preferred analysis method. Only two components affect the reported concentration of any component of interest, the internal standard component itself, and the internal standard component added (or present) in the sample. Directions o for generating an area normalization analysis method with an internal standard are given by omitting standard weight and l providing the standard name at the STD line, using the exact spelling as used in the component list for that standard.

3.4.3 External Standard (Corrected Area) Analysis - This method can be used when an internal standard cannot be added or is not present in a sample. This method is extremely susceptible to variations in the quantity of gas injected, since peak area is related directly to concentration in this technique. However, the concentration reported for a given peak is not related to the concentration of any other peak. Directions for generating an external standard analysis method are given by entering i for STD WT and defaulting (r.o name entred) STD NAME.

S Reference the three analysis methods above. When the standard weight is not entered (i.e. , 0), a Normalization Analysia will te performed, regardless of the entry for the standard name. If the standard weight is some value other than 0, the entry or omission  ;

of the standard name determines whether an Internal (standard name entered) Standard Method or an External (standard name defaulted)

Standard Method will be generated.

  • , Chromatograph and Console 3.5 Method Characteristics - Each method has three sections and each section is divided into two portions. The sections and portions are as follows:

l 3.5.1 Analyzer Control Section

a. Fixed Portion (INJ TEMP through INIT OVEN TEMP, TIME)
b. Variable Portion (TENP RATE TIME) not applicable to this procedure 3.5.2 Data Processing Section
a. Fixed Portion (STD WT, SMP WT through STD NAME) I
b. Variable Portion (RT, RF, CONC, NAME) l 3.5.3 Even[ControlSection l
a. Fixed Portion (ATTN - CHART - DELAY)
b. Variable Portion (TIME DEVICE FUNCTION NAME)

The values entered or defaulted into the fixed portions remain constant, except where the Variabla Portion of the Event Control Section can change I the ATTN value and the CHART speed. The variable portion allows input or I variables which direct the system to act upon certain data at, or during specific times, and to use the values, especially the RT, RF, CONC, NAME '

of the standard, for calculating Response Factors and percents of gas molecules present in an injected gas.

3.6 Operator - The use of the term, operator, implies authorized and qualified chemists, chemistry technicians, I and C technicians or other .

authorized personnel qualified to operate or perform maintenance on the instruments.

.Titlo; Operation of the Gas No.: 08-S-04-133 Revision: 0 Page: 13 Chromatograph and Console NOTE Round the answer to the nearest multiple of five.

(b) Base Sensitivity = 1.7 Sys (HH-HL )/180 using the same envelope as for area sensitivity.

NOTE Kound the answer to the next higher whole number.

NOTE Ideally, the noise trace obtained above should be flat (horizontal). If there is extensive drift, the values obtained in Step 6.4.11 will be high. If so, reconditioning of the column may be required.

NOTE When sample is injected in Step 6.5.2, the printer pen may go off scale, but the value is retained. Data is also retained during attenuation adjustment and even when I the Plotter has been disabled. If the Plotter was disabled, data will be printed out when the Plotter is reactivated.

5.5 Obtain Peak Area and Elution Times Utilizing the Default Method (Step 6.3) as follows:

NOTE Since percents of gases are determined by this procedure, sample volumes are not critical.

6.5.1 When the asdy (green) light ou the instrument interface illuminates, place the syringe needle into the gas sample / standard, w~ait approximatley 15 seconds for stabilization at the needle point, then' slowly fill the syringe to 1.0 cc with l the gas.

NOTE -

Inserting the needle all the way, each time, as in the following step, and proceeding rapidly, but smoothly, through the step assures that no sample, especially the hydrogen, is lost, and that ensuing injections will be consistent.
