    Abstract: A thermal conductivity detector includes a first pipe path that houses a filament, a second pipe path and a third pipe path that connects the first pipe path to the second pipe path. In the third pipe path, first, second and third gas lead-in portions are arranged in this order from the first pipe path toward the second pipe path. A carrier gas is led to the first and third gas lead-in portions alternately, and a sample gas is led to the second gas lead-in portion. The distance between the second and third gas lead-in portions is equal to or smaller than 1.3 times of a maximum dimension of an opening formed at the second gas lead-in portion. At least part of the third pipe path between the second gas lead-in portion and the third gas lead-in portion has a cross sectional area that is equal to or smaller than an area of the opening formed at the second gas lead-in portion.

    Abstract: An upstream portion of a flow path is stored in a cell block. A filament for detecting thermal conductivity of a sample gas is stored in the upstream portion. The sample gas is led to a downstream portion of an exhaust pipe path through the flow path. The flow path is kept warm by a temperature retainer such that the temperature of the sample gas that passes through the exhaust pipe path does not decrease to a temperature equal to or lower than a liquefaction temperature of the sample gas. Alternatively, at least one portion including a downstream end of the exhaust pipe path is provided to be attachable to and detachable from another portion of the flow path.

    Abstract: Provided is a thermal conductivity detector including a detection channel through which a gas to be measured flows as a fluid, a heat conducting part that includes at least a filament provided at a position in the detection channel at which the filament is in direct contact with the fluid flowing through the detection channel, the filament being folded at least once in a direction substantially parallel to a flow direction of the fluid flowing through the detection channel, and that conducts heat via the fluid flowing through the detection channel, and a detection circuit that detects an electric signal in accordance with a change in current or voltage of the filament. The filament is folded by being holed on a folding pin provided substantially perpendicular to the flow direction in the detection channel, and the folding pin has a position shift prevention structure for preventing a fold of the filament hooked on the folding pin from shifting in a longitudinal direction of the folding pin.

    Abstract: Detection sensitivity of a single-filament thermal conductivity detector is to be increased. A thermal conductivity detector is a single-filament thermal conductivity detector, and includes a measurement cell, a phase switching mechanism, and a measurement section. The measurement section starts measurement of thermal conductivity of a sample gas after a lapse of a sample gas measurement start time that is set in advance, after a reference phase is switched to a sample phase by the phase switching mechanism, and starts measurement of thermal conductivity of a reference gas after a lapse of a reference gas measurement start time that is set in advance as a length of time different from the sample gas measurement start time, after the sample phase is switched to the reference phase by the phase switching mechanism.

    Abstract: A thermal conductivity detector includes a first pipe passage and an exhaust pipe passage. The first pipe passage is accommodated in a cell block together with a heating device. The exhaust pipe passage has an outlet port at the downstream end, and most of the exhaust pipe passage including the downstream end is drawn out of the cell block. The heating device maintains the space in the cell block at a temperature capable of vaporizing the sample. A filament is accommodated in the first pipe passage. The gas passing through the first pipe passage is discharged out of the thermal conductivity detector through the exhaust pipe passage outlet port. On the inner surface of the exhaust pipe passage, a coating having resistance to a cleaning fluid for removing the adhered substance due to the sample gas is formed.
