4.Preparing The Die For Use 

 
 
The Atlas™ Lightweight Evacuable Pellet Die and its component parts 
are  packed  from  the  factory  in  such  a  way  that  they  do  not  suffer 
damage  during  transit.  The  optically  polished  surfaces  of  the  plunger 
and the base are covered in a protective material and the die may  be 
lightly coated with oil. 
 
1)  Before use the protective material on the plunger (

1

) and base (

2

should  be  removed  and  all  component  parts  must  be  thoroughly 
cleaned with an organic solvent to ensure that the protective oil is 
fully  removed.  The  parts  should  be  wiped  dry  taking  care  to  use 
non-abrasive  cleaning  cloths  on  the  polished  faces  of  the  plunger 
(

1

) and the base (

2

). 

 
2)   Place the base (

2

) onto the bench top. Ensure the base O-ring  

      seal (

3

) is correctly positioned in the groove on the base (

2

) and is   

      not damaged. 
 
3)  Assemble the Cylinder Body (

4

) by pressing down onto the base  

      (

2

). A tight fit between the parts is achieved from contact with the   

      base O-ring seal (

3

). (See Exploded Diagram page 10.) 

 
The Die is now ready to accept a sample for compression. The sample 
can be either a solid powder material alone or a solid powder material 
contained in a support cup.  
 

Note:

 

For X-Ray Fluorescence analysis, solid powder samples are  

          usually contained in an aluminium or plastic support cup of  
          32mm or 40mm diameter corresponding to the particular  
          diameter size of die. A variety of support cups for this purpose  
          can be purchased through Specac.
