Rinsing the torch
To rinse the torch (one piece and semi-demountable torches):
1 Hold the torch with the ball joint connector at the top.
2 Thoroughly flush the inside and outside of the torch with deionized water
(18 MΩ.cm) using a wash bottle to direct the water stream. See Figure 16A.
3 Invert the torch (see Figure 16B) so that the quartz tube or injector are at the
top and the ball joint connector is at the bottom. Flush rinse water through the
quartz tubes so that the water flows out of the gas entry ports and ball joint
connector for at least 1 minute.
Figure 16A. Rinse the injector with deionized water through the ball joint connector.
