adapter into the sample cell, and prevents side-to-side movement which could bend
the tool and damage the cell.
Do not use the cleaning adapter without the support disk in
place as this may cause the adapter needle to bend and possibly
damage the reaction vessel.
3. Moisten the O-ring on the shaft of the cleaning tool just
enough to lubricate. Insert the tool assembly into the
center hole of the support disk, and carefully lower the
shaft into the cell opening (Figure 4-10). When the O-
ring enters the cell opening, continue lowering the tool
with a slight rotation to work the O-ring down into the
neck of the sample cell access tube.
4. Connect a length of 1/16 inch I.D. Manosil silicone
rubber tubing provided to the side port of the cleaning
tool, and place the other end of the tube in a beaker of
clean deionized or distilled water. Connect another
length of tubing to the top port leading to a vacuum
ask which is connected to a vacuum pump (Figures
4-11 and 4-12).
