<p>A window burner for creating windows by selective removal of polymer type coatings from capillary columns and very small diameter tubes. The burner includes an electric circuit which provides a predetermined, controlled current from a standard 120 or 220 volt AC outlet. The predetermined, controlled current electrically heats a resistive wire for a predetermined period of time. The resistive wire may have a predetermined configuration to facilitate mounting of the capillary column for selective burning. The size of the resistive wire and the predetermined period of time during which the predetermined, controlled current is provided thereto are factors determining the size of the window formed by selectively burning off the polymer coating.</p> |
