Filling the Syringe Barrel
Caution:
Do not completely fill syringe barrels. The optimum fill is a maximum 2/3 of the barrel capacity
and 1/2 of the barrel capacity when using the EFD blue LV Barrier
™
piston.
For best results, we strongly recommend that you use a piston as part of your dispensing system.
The white EFD SmoothFlow
™
piston is appropriate for most fluids and has several advantages.
•
First,
vacuum adjustment is less sensitive.
•
Second,
the piston prevents fumes from the fluid being exhausted into the work environment.
•
Third,
the piston prevents fluid backflow into the dispenser if the syringe barrel is inadvertently turned
upside down.
•
Fourth,
the piston makes it easy and safe to change tips without dripping.
For watery solvents and cyanoacrylates, request the blue EFD LV Barrier piston, available in 3cc, 10cc,
and 30/55cc sizes. If you are dispensing an RTV silicone and find that the piston bounces and causes
stringing, request EFD’s assistance in selecting a suitable piston.
Remember
For best results, EFD strongly recommends the use of a
piston as part of your dispensing system.
Do not tip the barrel
upside down or lay flat.
This will cause the liquid
to run into the dispenser.
If you choose to not use a piston when dispensing
thin fluids, remember these important points.
Fumes cannot escape.
No air gap when using
the SmoothFlow
piston.
SmoothFlow piston
prevents fluid backflow.
Correct method
✔
When changing tips
or attaching a tip cap,
