Remove a Penetrometer from a High Pressure Chamber
When analysis is finished, ensure the high pressure system indicator PRESSURIZED is not lit. |
- Loosen the vent valve counter-clockwise approximately 1/8 turn to make the plug removal easier.
- Unscrew the chamber plug by turning the arms counter-clockwise. Lift the plug assembly as far as it will go. Fluid begins to drain from the vent valve. Pause a few seconds to allow fluid to drain back into the chamber.
- Remove the penetrometer assembly. Hold it over the chamber for a few moments to allow the high pressure fluid to drain.
- Clean the penetrometer. See Clean the Penetrometer.
