Preventative Maintenance

Maintenance for chamber cap o-ring and dust filters.

 

The chamber cap contains an o-ring that should be routinely greased. A small amount of high vacuum grease should be distributed evenly around the o-ring.

 

If the o-ring shows signs of wear, it should be replaced with a new, greased o-ring.

There are two dust filters located on the back of the AccuPyc III. These should be checked regularly to make sure they are clean.

 

To clean the dust filter, remove the filter from the tray and use a method that is appropriate in your laboratory.
