Chapter 1: Introduction
Operation Manual: Evolution Series
Physical Site Considerations
The dimensional requirements specified below are adequate for the installation of
the Evolution Dissolution System:
1. The minimum bench depth (front edge of bench to the back splash or wall)
needed is 22” (0.56m). However, the minimum recommended bench depth is
23” (0.59m). For manual sampling, 29” (0.74m) is recommended to allow room
in front for the receiving flasks or tubes into which the measured volumes of
sample are to be collected.
2. The minimum linear bench space requirement is 33” (0.84m). Distek
recommends that at least 39” (1.0m) be allocated whenever manual operations
are required to be performed adjacent to the system.
3. There must be no obstruction (cabinet, shelf, or outlet) that intrudes into the
minimum footprint of the unit up to a height of 40” (1.02m) above the bench
surface where the unit is to be installed.
4. The bench must be capable of sustaining the weight of the unit and all of its
accessory parts without significant bending. Because the entire mass of the
unit is transferred to the bench surface through three (3) circular padded,
adjustable leveling feet, the bench surface should be strong enough to
withstand a load of 60 pounds per square inch (4 kilograms per square
centimeter).
5. Because of the limitation in travel of the leveling feet, the bench slope should
be less than 0.75” (1.9cm) from front to back or from side to side over the
unit’s foot print.
