Cleaning the Pycnometer
The exterior casing of the pycnometer may be cleaned using a clean cloth, dampened with
isopropyl alcohol (IPA), a mild detergent solution, or a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.
Do not immerse the pycnometer or the power cord in any liquids. Doing so could
result in electrical shock to personnel or damage to the unit.
Do not allow liquid to penetrate the casing of the pycnometer. Doing so could result in
damage to the unit.
