UCA
Connecting the Cell
1. Apply a thin coat of an ultrasonic couplant to the two transducers. One
inside the heat jacket and the one that connects to the UCA cabinet.
When applying the couplant, apply only the smallest amount necessary
to allow for the couplant to be spread out in a thin layer, evenly over the
face of the transducer. Applying too much couplant can interfere with
the integrity of the signal that is either transmitted or received by the
transducers.
2. Carefully place the cell into the heating jacket.
3. Place the top transducer into the hole in the top cell cap. Compress the
spring and place the spring holder over it. Tighten the screw with a
3/16
"
allen wrench to secure the spring holder in place.
4. Connect the water supply tube from the port on the test cell to the cabinet.
a. Screw the glands on the water supply tube, leaving two threads of
each fitting exposed. The longer end goes to the cabinet and the
shorter end goes to the cell.
b. Turn the cell in the heat jacket so the water supply tube is aligned
properly to the cell.
c.
Use a ⅝" wrench to tighten the fitting on the cabinet completely.
