Abstract
Methods and systems for carrier gas identification in gas chromatography are described herein. In one aspect, a gas chromatography system can include a pneumatic system including an input flowpath in fluidic communication with a first output flowpath and a second output flowpath; a first flow sensor configured to generate a flow measurement signal corresponding to a first property of a gas; a second flow sensor configured to generate a second flow measurement signal corresponding to a second property of the gas different than the first gas property; and a controller programmed to: determine the first flow measurement signal for the flow of gas through the pneumatic system; determine the second flow measurement signal for the flow of gas through the pneumatic system; and identify a type of gas for the flow of gas through the pneumatic system from the first and second flow measurement signals.
