Abstract: | Abstract A gas sampling valve suitable for on-line injection of low pressure (< 0.5 torr) gas mixtures is described. Its advantages over the commercially available valves are enumerated. An error of < 3 per cent due to non-reproducibility in sample injection was observed. A simple arrangement of column and hot wire detector together with this valve enabled quantitative separation of CO and O2 with a lower limit of ~ 1 × 10?7 moles for each component. |
