Purpose
e purpose for the cleaning procedure is to remove grease, dirt and
other soluble substances which can absorb/release water during veri-
cation, calibration, and/or sample testing. For a smooth and even
dew formation, it requires the mirror to be perfectly clean. If there
are any contaminants (e.g. ngerprints) on the mirror, the dew will
form unevenly and thus a ect the accuracy of the reading.
When to Clean
e instrument should be cleaned if visual inspection indicates the
chamber is dirty or as instructed in the veri cation owchart on
page 41.
