cells are delivered with the PR-
1010B gaskets, inner diameter of 93 mm, outer diameter 126 mm and 10 mm thick, as standard. This
requires that the specimen diameter be between 97 mm to 101 mm (
See table 3)
.

Installing the gaskets without epoxy
After disassembling the measuring cell when received from Germann Instruments, leave the bolts in one
cell half and have it sitting with the bolts straight up (
See figure 8)
.
Place a sealing gasket over one end of the specimen (previously moistened and prepared). Using a small
brush, apply a light coat of silicon oil on the face of the spacer that will touch the sealing gasket. Put the
spacer over the specimen and against the first sealing gasket. Now, apply a light coat of silicone oil to the
other face of the spacer and place the second sealing gasket over the specimen and against the spacer
(
See figure 9
). Squeeze the gaskets and spacer together and center the specimen in this subassembly.

Apply a light coat of silicon oil on the gasket face that you choose to sit on the metal ring of the mesh of
the cell half that has the bolts pointing straight up. Place the subassembly into the recess against the
mesh, making sure it is sitting flat (
See figure 10
).
Apply a light coat of silicon oil to the face of the second gasket (which is now pointing upwards) and insert
the second cell half through the bolts. Make sure that the black and the red terminal posts of the cell
parts point to the same direction and add the washers and hex nuts (
See figure 11
).
