2.1 Handling the sample boat

Sample boat and guide rod should always be handled using

the 6.2056.000 Holding Clamp to ensure the measurement

results are not falsified by skin moisture adhering to the

glass.

Always dry sample boat and guide rod well (hair dryer, dry-

ing oven) after cleaning. Store sample boats in a desiccator.

There is no need to clean the sample boat if the aluminum

inserts (order number 6.2623.000) are used (recommended

especially when the samples melt or decompose).

Inserting sample boat in the oven

Hold boat with clamp so that the eye of the boat fits in the

opening of the clamp.

Place boat in insert tube. The eye should protrude from

the tube.

Grip guide rod with the clamp. The two teeth of the clamp

should be at the bottom.

Engage guide rod in the eye of the boat and slide into in-

sert tube.

The boat can also be gripped with the guide rod and in-

serted in the oven as a unit "boat and guide rod".

Close insert tube with cover.

Start determination with <START>.

Removing sample boat from the oven

Open cover of the insert tube.

Grip guide rod with the clamp and withdraw until the end

of the sample boat protrudes sufficiently out of the insert

tube to be easily grasped by the clamp. Disengage guide

rod from the eye of the boat and put aside, e.g. on the

oven at the rear. Position so that the holding lug of the

guide rod projects over the oven edge and can be easily

gripped by the clamp.

Grip boat with clamp and take out.

Boat and guide rod can also be withdrawn from the oven

together.
