This chapter provides important information about using the

Agilent 490 Micro Gas Chromatograph (Micro GC) safely. To

prevent any injury to you or any damage to the instrument it is

essential that you read the information in this chapter.

8490 Micro GC User Manual

1Introduction

Safety Information

Important safety warnings

There are several important safety notices that you should always

keep in mind when using the Micro GC.

Hydrogen safety

Hydrogen is a commonly used GC carrier gas. When mixed with air,

hydrogen can form explosive mixtures and has other dangerous

characteristics.

•Hydrogen is combustible over a wide range of concentrations. At

atmospheric pressure, hydrogen is combustible at concentrations

from 4 % to 74.2 % by volume.

•Hydrogen has the highest burning velocity of any gas.

•Hydrogen has a very low ignition energy.

•Hydrogen that is allowed to expand rapidly from high pressure into

the atmosphere can self-ignite.

•Hydrogen burns with a nonluminous flame which can be invisible

under bright light.

WARNING

When

When handling or using chemicals for preparation or use within

the Micro GC, all applicable local and national laboratory safety

practices must be followed. This includes, but is not limited to,

correct use of Personal Protective Equipment, correct use of

storage vials, and correct handling of chemicals, as defined in the

laboratory’s internal safety analysis and standard operating

procedures. Failure to adhere to laboratory safety practices could

lead to injury or death.

WARNING

When using hydrogen (H2) as the carrier gas, be aware that hydrogen gas

can create a fire or explosion hazard. Be sure that the supply is turned off

until all connections are made.

Hydrogen is flammable. Leaks, when confined in an enclosed space, may

create a fire or explosion hazard. In any application using hydrogen, leak

test all connections, lines, and valves before operating the instrument.

Always turn off the hydrogen supply at its source before working on the

instrument.

1Introduction

Safety and regulatory information

This instrument and its accompanying documentation comply

with the CE specifications and the safety requirements for

electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory

use (CEI/IEC 1010-1)CCSAUS and FCC-b.

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC

rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference when the equipment is

operated in a commercial environment. This equipment

generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if

not installed and used in accordance with the instruction

manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to

cause harmful interference in which case the user will be

required to correct the interference at his own expense.

NOTICE This instrument has been tested per applicable

requirements of EMC Directive as required to carry the

European Union CE Mark. As such, this equipment may be

susceptible to radiation/interference levels or frequencies,

which are not within the tested limits.

General safety precautions

Follow the following safety practices to ensure safe equipment

operation:

•Perform periodic leak checks on all supply lines and

pneumatic plumbing.

•Do not allow gas lines to become kinked or punctured. Place

lines away from foot traffic and extreme heat or cold.

•Store organic solvents in fireproof, vented and clearly

labeled cabinets so they are easily identified as either toxic,

or flammable, or both types of materials.

•Do not accumulate waste solvents. Dispose of such materials

through a regulated disposal program and not through

municipal sewage lines.
