  If you are getting unexpected test results with your Micromeritics Measuring Instruments, consider the following: * Verify the correct sample has been loaded and that you've entered the accurate mass and density. * Ensure the top brass sample plug and filter paper are properly installed. * If the sample escaped during the test, repeat it using two filter papers on each plug. * Confirm that the correct Fisher number map is being used for the material.

Why are the pressures not steady during analysis with Micromeritics MIC SAS II 5800 Measuring Instruments?
- K
  Kara WilliamsAug 12, 2025
  Unsteady pressures during analysis with Micromeritics Measuring Instruments can be caused by worn O-rings. Check the integrity of the O-rings.

What to do if pressures read close to zero during analysis using Micromeritics Measuring Instruments?
- C
  Carolyn OrtegaAug 16, 2025
  If one or both pressures read close to zero during analysis with your Micromeritics Measuring Instruments, check the following: 1. Ensure the air cylinder valve and any shutoff valves are open. 2. Verify the regulator is set properly and the air line is connected. 3. Make sure the piston is engaged in the tube and the air outlet tube on the top of the moving piston mount is connected. 4. Inspect the O-rings for damage.

  If the piston in your Micromeritics Measuring Instruments does not move, try the following: * Go to the Instrument view and tap the stop icon. If it remains unresponsive, power cycle the instrument. * Check if the emergency stop button was pressed and reset it. After resetting, perform a home operation.

What to do if sample escapes top of sample tube when piston first engages in Micromeritics MIC SAS II 5800 Measuring Instruments?
- N
  Nancy LeAug 26, 2025
  If sample escapes the top of the sample tube when the piston first engages in your Micromeritics Measuring Instruments: * Check the integrity of the O-rings. * If the sample contains very fine particles, a small loss may not require action. You can try using a second filter paper on the top brass plug to reduce sample loss.

How to resolve if sample mass cannot be made equal to its absolute density in Micromeritics MIC SAS II 5800 Measuring Instruments?
- S
  Stephanie SinghAug 28, 2025
  If the sample mass cannot be made equal to its absolute density in your Micromeritics Measuring Instruments, it may be due to a limited sample amount or the sample having a very low bulk density and high absolute density. Accurate measurements might still be possible with less sample. Ensure you enter the actual mass and density. Note that a warning will appear if mass and density differ by more than 5%, but the analysis can still be started.

Why does the sample tube rise when piston engages in Micromeritics MIC SAS II 5800 Measuring Instruments?
- O
  oluceroSep 2, 2025
  The sample tube may rise when the piston engages in your Micromeritics Measuring Instruments if the retaining sample tube collar is missing or too loose. To resolve this, fit the retaining collar tightly on the sample tube just below the bracket.
