Plug Valve
Check that the plug valve is positioned vertically (valve open position) as shown in the
figure. If it is horizontal, the plug valve will be closed.
Note: Never perform sampling with the plug valve closed. This will cause malfunctions.
Airtight Test
Airtight tests can be performed by attaching a hose joint (optionally available, item code:
080180-2525) and manual vacuum pump (optionally available, item code: 080870-10)
using the tube as shown in the figure.
(1) Close the plug valve.
(2) Using the manual vacuum pump, apply suction
until approximately 0.04 MPa is reached.
(3) Release the handle on the manual vacuum
pump. Check that the needle on the pressure
gauge does not drop (check that there is no
leak).
(4) After finishing the airtight test, reopen the plug
valve.
