Abstract
A gas chromatograph has a control unit which normally carries out a pressure control so as to keep the pressure inside the vaporization chamber at a specified target level while the flow rate of a carrier gas into the vaporization chamber is kept constant. When a liquid sample is injected to cause a sudden rise in the pressure, the normal pressure control is temporarily stopped, say, for keeping the split ratio unchanged. In order to keep unchanged the retention time for components being analyzed although the pressure inside the vaporization chamber rises, the target value for the pressure control is reduced for an appropriate length of time after the temporary stopping of pressure control is discontinued.
