Sample area/beaker
The sample beaker holds the sample and dispersant.
Beaker specifications:
l Capacity: 600 ml or 1000 ml
l Height: 15 cm max.
Dispersant is added directly into the beaker, which is then placed onto the sample area
drip tray, sample is then added as required.
Caution!
Do not overfill the beaker as spillage may occur once the pump starts. Clean
any spillage off the covers immediately to prevent damage.
The tank contains the pump and stirrer assembly, and an ultrasonic transducer within the
sample flow path also helps to disperse the sample.
All functions of the tank area are controlled by the Mastersizer software.
Once a measurement has finished, the pump head can be raised and the beaker removed
and emptied in to a sink or other waste container.
Drip tray/beaker holder
The beaker holder supports the sample beaker under the pump head. Turn the holder
over to support either a standard 1000 ml laboratory beaker on one side, or 600 ml and
smaller beaker sizes on the other.
The drip tray under the beaker holder collects any minor spillages from the pump/stirrer
head. To clean the tray, lift it up by the cut-out on the left hand side.
Pump head
By holding the pump head by the indent on the front face, the pump head can be raised
and lowered into the beaker of sample. When the pump head is lifted, the pumping
action automatically stops and the cell and sample pipes are drained of the sample and
dispersant.
