MAINTENANCE
The mineral oil supplied with the 5617 is suitable for most high temperature tests. Refer to
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the mineral oil specifications. It is not
recommended to operate above the flashpoint of the mineral oil. It is the responsibility of the
user to establish the appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicable oil
to be used when operating above the flashpoint of the oil supplied.
Warning: If the test temperature exceeds the flashpoint of the oil, a synthetic oil with
suitable properties should be used.
Sample Rack
All components of the sample rack must be cleaned using suitable degreasing equipment and
inspected after every test. Note that residual corrosive media may be present on the sample rack.
Centerline Thermocouple
Inspect the thermocouple to ensure that it is straight and the threaded collar is positioned with
two threads showing on the lower side. Inspect the threaded collar and gland nut for clean
and well-formed threads. Worn threads, on either part, present a safety hazard to the operator.
If the threads are damaged, the thermocouple may blow out under pressure. Inspect the
exterior of the probe for thinning or nicking. Replace any or all components as required.
Monthly
Drive Motor System
Periodic lubrication is required for the thrust bearing, end bearings, gear reducer, and 1/4 HP
motor. Suitable lubricating oil, such as SAE #10, may be used for the pump and the 1/4 HP
motor. The gear reducer should be checked occasionally and replenished, if necessary.
Hydraulic Pump
Lubricating oil for the air hydraulic pump is supplied by the air lubricator, which has a
transparent reservoir. Mineral oil is used as the lubricant.
Thermocouple and Temperature Control System
API specs require that the temperature measuring system be verified for accuracy monthly.
No equipment is supplied with the unit for performing these tests. Review the API specs for
details or contact Chandler Engineering.
Packing Cartridge
The packing cartridge should be removed from inside the cylinder when the reciprocating
shaft packing requires replacement. Loosen the connecting rod connection, unscrew the
packing gland and lock ring, and lift the cartridge from the cylinder. Examine the O-Ring,
and replace if required, after repacking.
