6.1.9 Attaching the temperature probe to the vessel
Step 1
Insert the PTFE temperature probe adapter into the
B19 port on the glass lid.
Hand-tighten the red Rodaviss screw cap to secure
the adapter in place.
Partially unscrew the blue locking cap on the top of
the probe adapter.
Step 2
Feed the Pt100 temperature probe through the top
of the blue locking cap on the probe adapter until it
exits the other end.
Keep feeding the probe through until it is the
desired length. The temperature probe can be
gently bent to ensure that it does not obstruct the
stirrer shaft inside the vessel.
Hand-tighten the blue locking cap to secure the
temperature probe in place.
Useful notes
❖ A Pt100 temperature probe is supplied with vessel kits or can be purchased as a separate item
Step 3
Attach any additional components required (e.g.
dropping funnels, solids addition funnels, etc.) to
the remaining ports on the glass lid, and secure by
hand-tightening the red Rodaviss screw caps.
Note: Any ports on the glass lid that are not in use
should be sealed off with a red Rodaviss sealing cap
(supplied x4). These sealing caps have PTFE faced
liners for an inert seal.
