Measuring Cell Preventive Maintenance
The o-rings in the Measuring Cell should be replaced every year to avoid
a leak in the sample system. If the sample system operates above atmo-
spheric pressure, sample fluid can leak from the Measuring Cell into the
Oven/Sample System Enclosure. While the Measuring Cell is disassem-
bled, clean its chambers and parts.
More frequent cleaning may be required if the sample fluid contains
excessive contaminants.
Clean the Measuring Cell and its windows:
• If the analyzer responds slowly to zero when the sample system is free
of restrictions, or
• If evidence of contamination is present in the Sample Line and/or Vent
Line, or
•
Every year as indicated in the “Analyzer Preventive Maintenance
Schedule.”
Replace the o-rings/windows in the Measuring Cell:
• If, during an unscheduled cleaning (see cleaning requirements above),
the Measuring Cell Windows are found to be damaged (scratched,
cracked, or chipped).
Replace the o-rings in the Measuring Cell every time this assembly is
apart.
• Every year as indicated in the “Analyzer Preventive Maintenance
Schedule.”
