Limitations
This section explains the limitations of the stirred ultra-
ltration cell.
Pressure Limits
Do not exceed 75 psi (5.3 kg/cm
2
) nitrogen gas pressure.
CAUTION: Never operate the cell without its
retaining stand. The cap will pop off when
the cell is pressurized, and the liquid in
the cell may spill or splatter.
Temperature Limits
Although brief exposure to higher temperatures is
possible, do not operate cell continuously above 85 °C
(185 °F).
Chemical Resistance
Do not use the stirred cell with:
Strong acids (pH < 2) or strong alkalies (pH > 10)
Ketones (including acetone)
Aromatic hydrocarbons (including toluene)
Cellosolve
®
solvent
Halogenated hydrocarbons
DMF
Aliphatic esters
DMSO
Polar aromatics
NOTE: The spring in the pressure-relief valve is NOT
