Procedure to follow to ensure GOOD QUALITY GAS DATA STORED IN DEPTH DB:
1. Hardware part is controlled: � Degasser working & in a good position � Line is not plugged � Filters & Dryers are OK � Retention times are OK � Calibrations (accuracy & retention times) are OK

6. Off-line control of the GQR:
It is a very basic configuration showing CLEARLY that the QC is around 1, when all components are higher than 10ppm (threshold of quan tifiable value). Normally C1>C2>C3>C4>C5. The Interpretation (in this case Balance Wetness & Character) WILL NOT HELP YOU FOR QUALITY CONTROL.

Clear example of excellent calibration: only C1 and C2 > 10ppm giving a QC of 1.
