Disadvantages |
|
Graphite (100%) |
450°С |
- Easy to use, can be tightened to hold the column in place without seizing. Column can be readjusted if required - Easy removed from column and fiting - High temperature limit
- Most forgiving material to correct connection imperfections - Can be re-used |
- Allows air diffusion. Not suitable for MS or oxygen-sensitive detectors - Over tightening can extrude graphite into the inlet or detector. Pieces could flake off and remain in the fiting, which could cause peak tailing and sample losses - Can interact with the solvent and causing tailing |
|
Vespel/Graphite |
400°С |
- Simple and reliable connections - Reusable & can be retightened - Maintains shape and does not flake of - Reasonably forgiving of any connection imperfections |
- Design is specific to fiting size - Will shrink with temperature cycling. - Will shrink with temperature cycling. - Seizes on the column, cannot be re-adjusted, must be cut of |
|
Vespel |
350°С |
- Easy reliable connections - Reusable & can be retightened - Easily removed if used if used at room temperature - Low air permeability |
- Can shrink at elevated temperatures, must re-tighten frequently - Using above the recommended temperature limit can cause the material to melt and damage the fiting |
|
Teflon |
250°С |
- Easy connection - Can be re-used - Very forgiving of connection imperfections. - Can seal with very litle pressure |
- Not for MS or oxygen-sensitive detector - Allows air diffusion. |
