Candle won't light, what the FID?!?

This is how I set “measure flow rate” up.

We need numbers in the ml/min range.

After 2min I’d moved 6.5mls, so imo the orifice is probably too small. I can absolutely turn the pressure up to increase flow.

I also had to trim the column stub I used to achieve ANY flow.

Either because it was blocked (why it was trimmed?) or I blocked it stuffing it through the ferrule or septum

I usually use this setup when adjusting flow rate at end of column (detector end).

EDIT: Hugh is sending a new flow restrictor. I should be seeing about 200ml/min at 75PSI!! (and shouldn’t be above 25 PSI)
