Information and Markings
Environmental Express SimpleDist® Micro Heating Blocks provide an efcient method of
digesting, distilling, and storing water, wastewater, soil and sludge samples for analysis. These
innovative digestion systems allow samples to be digested in a corrosion-free environment. In
addition, samples are handled in a small area with minimal radiant heat loss. Users should
be aware of potential dangers from heating certain types of compounds. Such hazards may
include explosion or the release of toxic or ammable gases.
Each SimpleDist® Micro Heating Block displays certain markings and symbols. All personnel
working with the heating block should have an understanding of the following symbols and
denitions:
• V = voltage
• ~ = alternating current
• Hz = frequency
• A = amperes
This symbol means Caution hot
surface. All surfaces of the SimpleDist®
Micro Heating Block may be too hot to
safely touch with bare hands.
This symbol means Read and become
familiar with instructions before
operation of equipment.
