6. Lay the front of the cell on top of the gasket.
7. Align the hole in the front of the cell with the holes in the gasket and front window.
CAUTION
The windows in the flowcell are brittle and easily broken. Be careful that
you do not tighten the screws holding the flowcell together too tightly.
8. Insert and tighten the four screws using a hexagonal wrench until the screws just touch
the front of the cell.
9. Use a torque driver to tighten the screws, in the sequence shown, until a torque value
of 10 cNm is reached.
NOTE: The sequence in which you tighten the screws is important. The sequence shown
below is designed to prevent unequal pressure being applied to the flowcell, and
thereby help prevent any damage being caused.

10. Repeat step 9 until a torque value of 16 cNm is reached; and then again, until you
reach a final torque value of 24 cNm.
11. Recalibrate the flowcell pathlength after dismantling and reassembling it.
NOTE: It is essential that the pathlength of the flowcell is recalculated after the cell has
been dismantled. Failing to carry out this procedure will seriously affect the results
obtained using the OilExpress System.
