Accurate testing of insulating oil gas chromatography requires special attention to sampling standards, instrument calibration, degassing methods, temperature control, and safe operation. Specific precautions are as follows:
Sampling and Preservation
Oil samples should be sealed and stored away from light to avoid contamination or oxidation, ensuring sample representativeness1
.
Instrument calibration and parameter setting
Regularly calibrate the gas chromatograph with standard gases to ensure that the sensitivity of detectors (such as TCD, FID) meets the requirements (such as FID for acetylene detection limit<0.1ppm)1
2
When setting parameters, it is necessary to optimize column temperature, carrier gas flow rate, etc. to avoid baseline drift affecting the results3

.
Selection of degassing method
Prioritize the use of dissolution equilibrium method or vacuum degassing method to avoid gas loss or cross interference caused by different methods1
.
Temperature control and preheating
The temperature of the chromatographic column should be within the range of room temperature+15 ℃~350 ℃, with a temperature control accuracy of ± 0.1~0.2 ℃. The detector temperature should match the analysis requirements2
After starting up, fully preheat to ensure that the temperature of each component is uniform and stable3

.
Safe operation and environment
When using hydrogen, it is necessary to ventilate and check for leaks. The experimental area should be kept away from strong magnetic fields and flammable materials4
5
The instrument should be placed in an environment with constant temperature (15 ℃ -35 ℃), dust-free, and moderate humidity5
.
Data analysis and maintenance
Based on historical data of the equipment, comprehensively determine the type of fault (such as methane and ethylene as characteristic gases for overheating faults, and hydrogen and acetylene as characteristic gases for discharge faults)1
Regularly maintain the chromatography column, clean the instrument, and check the sealing of the gas path3
