Operation
Loading the Cell
1. Open the cell and check all of the o-rings. Replace any that appear worn
or damaged. New o-rings are normally required after each test above
300°F (149°C).
2. Apply a thin coat of silicone grease around the o-rings used on the piston,
valve stems, and the cell caps. Also apply a thin coat of Never-Seez
®
Stopcock Grease to the threads on the cell caps.
3. Position the cell upright with the inlet, or shallow, recess facing upwards.
Check the o-ring recess to make sure it is clean. Carefully insert an o-
ring (#170-13-3) inside the cell recess and cell caps.
4. Find the cell cap labeled “IN”. Using the spanner wrench, carefully screw
the cell cap into the cell body.
5. Screw the T-handle into the piston and place it inside the cell, working it
up and down to ensure free movement. Position the piston with the T-
handle so that it comes into contact with the inlet cell cap.
