1.  Place the receiver in the large open end of the cell body with the solid end 

of the receiver facing the cell body.

2.  Invert the assembly and pour the sample to be tested into the small 

opening of the cell body. The amount should not be less than 10 grams 

and not more than 20 grams.

3.  Insert the thin, 14 mm spacer in the cell body so that it rests on top of the 

sample.

4.  Place the piston so the small end rests on top of the spacer and the large 

expanded end is approximately 6-10 mm above the top of the cell body. 

The cell assembly is now ready.
