Chemical compatibility
Although the Mastersizer 3000 has been manufactured from materials considered to give
the widest protection from chemical attack, it is important to check the chemical com-
patibility of a sample with any material with which it may come into contact.
!
Warning!
It is advisable that the chemical compatibility is checked against the materials
identified below before a sample is inserted. It is also recommended that a test
is performed on the material with the sample before more permanent usage is
undertaken.
Cleanliness and maintenance procedures necessary are described in Maintenance on
page1.
In normal operation the sample and dispersant should not come into contact with any
component of the optical bench (the sample path is contained within the dispersion unit
and the sample cell). However, if a sample pipe or o-ring seal should fail then sample or
dispersant may fall into the cell area of the optical bench.
Should a small leak occur the sample/dispersant may come into contact with the materials
described.
