Disassembling and
Cleaning the Test Cell
The test cell must be cleaned immediately after every test. Any cement left in
the test cell will harden and could damage the equipment. Remove all o-rings
and seal rings and clean them individually. Carefully inspect them and discard
any that show damage or wear.
The cement in the cell will be solid. It may be necessary to press the cement
block out. Follow the procedure below:
1.
Remove both cell caps and pour off any excess water.
If the cell caps on the test cell will not turn, use a rubber mallet and strike
the top and bottom of the test cell.
2. Remove the cement plug from the cell by pressing from the top down.
3. Clean all surfaces of the test cell with soap and water.
Do not use any type of decontamination or cleaning agents as they may
cause a hazard as a result of a reaction with parts of the equipment or
with material contained within. If there is any doubt about the compatibility
of a decontamination or cleaning agent, please contact OFITE Technical
Support.
