Abstract

Abstract—Gas chromatographic detector types and application, as well carrier gas flow rate and column hold-up measurements are discussed in this paper. The flame ionization and hot wire detectors are discussed in detail. The measurement of carrier gas flow rate using a soap film bubble flow meter is explained. Column hold-ups for 4 poly(dimethylsiloxane) packed columns were measured using the homologous series method. Keywords—Column hold-up, detector, homologous,
