The cell body and both cell caps were manufactured and pressure tested
together. All three pieces are serialized. Before assembling the test cell, make
sure all three pieces have the same serial number.
For a complete diagram of the test cell, refer to page 85.
Bottom Cap Assembly
1. Inspect the transducer port to make sure that it is clean and free of debris.
Dried transducer couplant can accumulate on the sides and bottom of the
port. This couplant must be cleaned from the port as well.
2.
Tighten the jaws of the vice on the flats of the bottom cell cap with the
threads facing up.
3. Apply a thin layer of high-temperature grease to the threads of the bottom
cell cap.
4. Remove grease from the center area of the surface with a paper towel.
5. Leave only a thin layer of grease on the top surfaces of the bottom cell
cap avoiding the center area that transmits or receives transducer signal.
Excess grease will interfere with the transducer signal.
6. Apply high temperature ultrasonic couplant (#123-024) to the internal
center of the cell cap where the excess high temperature grease was
removed.
