Maintenance
Cleaning
Slurry Cup
After every test, immediately disassemble the slurry cup and clean it
thoroughly with soap and water. Be sure to remove any residual cement
before it hardens. Hardened cement on any of the parts can cause
irreparable damage.
Magnetic Drive
After every test, examine the inside of the test cell for any cement or
other debris. Use a shop vacuum to remove any excess cement or debris
that has settled into the bottom of the chamber. Additionally, remove the
magnetic drive from the cell and clean off any excess cement that has
accumulated on the shaft.
It is recommended that you periodically flush the test cell with mineral oil
to clean out any contaminants that may have collected over time.
1.
Make sure all switches are off and all valves are closed.
2. Open the test cell and remove the slurry cup and potentiometer if they
are still in place.
3. Locate the cover and gland beneath the test cell and remove them.
4. Pull the slurry cup table and rotor assembly up through the test cell
opening.
5. Clean any abrasive particles from the rotor assembly and lay the
assembly on a clean, flat, non-magnetic surface.
6. Place a pail or bucket underneath the test cell. Flush the test cell and
magnetic drive with mineral oil. Use a soft-bristle brush to remove any
debris.
