5 Standard Sample Introduction Glassware Assembly

Warning: Appropriate care and safety procedures should be followed to
avoid breaking any glassware and causing injury to the operator. Broken
glassware should be handled with appropriate care. ▲
Gloves must be worn when handling glass or ceramic torches as handprints will reduce the life of
the torch and may cause the torch not to light.

5.1 Duo and Radial Torch Assembly

The O-rings in the metal torch mount (3 internal & 2 external) should be inspected and replaced if
any wear, or damage, is visible.
Gloves must be warn when handling a torch as contamination from hands will make the torch
harder to light and reduce its life.
The quartz body of the torch should be pushed into the metal torch mount. Ensure the torch body
is pushed fully into the metal torch mount. The marked circle on the quartz torch should be
aligned with the notch on the torch holder assembly and the associated line marking on the torch
should be aligned with the edge of the torch holder assembly.
The alignment of the torch markings in accordance with the torch holder assembly are essential
in order to ensure that the optical radial view hole on a duo torch and gas holes are correctly
aligned. Incorrect assembly of the torch can result in damage and reduced torch lifetime.
