Remove a Penetrometer from a High Pressure Chamber

  When analysis is finished, ensure the high pressure system indicator PRESSURIZED is not lit.
  1. Loosen the vent valve counter-clockwise approximately 1/8 turn to make the plug removal easier.

  1. 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.
  2. Remove the penetrometer assembly. Hold it over the chamber for a few moments to allow the high pressure fluid to drain.
  3. Clean the penetrometer. See Clean the Penetrometer.
