Note
Pressure buildup or liquid accumulation in the analyzer vents degrades
performance. Vent lines must be as short as possible and routed in a manner
that prevents accumulation of liquids.
σ
There must be no back pressure on the vent or drain lines. All vents must be
referenced to atmospheric pressure. If the analyzer is installed in a pressurized
analyzer shelter, route all vents from the purge controllers and the PUVF
detector to the exterior of the shelter. All sample lines must be as short as
possible. Sample lines must use new 316 stainless steel that has been prepared
as described in the following section “Sample Tubing Preparation.”
The analyzer will produce erratic readings if backpressure is created or varied
by an obstructed or improperly routed vent.
Review the following cautions prior to performing this procedure.
Caution
Isopropyl alcohol is extremely flammable, hazardous if breathed, and
dries skin on contact. When using isopropyl alcohol, avoid breathing the
vapors and contact with the skin. Appropriate measures must be taken to
prevent ignition of the isopropyl alcohol vapors. Use isopropyl alcohol only
where there is adequate ventilation and no ignition sources are present. Refer
to a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for isopropyl alcohol for additional
important information.
σ
Caution
Acetone is extremely flammable, hazardous if breathed, and dries
skin on contact. When using acetone, avoid breathing the vapors and contact
with the skin. Appropriate measures must be taken to prevent the acetone
vapors from igniting. Use acetone only where there is adequate ventilation and
no ignition sources are present. Refer to a MSDS for acetone for additional
important information.
σ
Caution
Acetone dissolves many plastics. Use caution to prevent the acetone
from contacting materials that may be marred or damaged.
σ
Caution
Take necessary precautions to prevent exposure to hazardous
materials when conditioning the sample tubing with sample.
σ
Proper preparation of sample tubing prior to installation is very important.
Prepare the sample tubing as follows.
