Disassembly
- Seal the sample (squeeze cake) in a plastic bag, enter it into database (offshore DIS) and hand it over to the curator for storage.
- Clean everything, especially the parts that are in direct contact with either the solid sample or the pore water. (PTFE seals, drain plate, base cylinder, liner, funnel). The PTFE and titanium parts may be cleaned with concentrated nitric acid, if necessary. You should use only dilute acids or normal detergents to clean the plastic parts (liner tube, funnel, spacer rings.
- The support cylinder and base plate are made from high tension anodized aluminum and should be cleaned with water, detergent or dilute acids only.
- The last cleaning step is always repeated rinsing with distilled water and dry with compressed air!!
