SPACE AND LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
!
WARNING
Do not place the ultracentrifuge near areas
containing flammable reagents or combus-
tible fluids. Vapors from these materials
could enter the ultracentrifuge air system and
be ignited by the motor. Maintain a 30-cm
(1-ft) clearance envelope around the ultracen-
trifuge while it is running. No persons or any
hazardous materials should be within this
clearance boundary while the ultracentrifuge
is operating except to change operating
controls, if required.
• Select a location away from heat-producing laboratory equipment,
with sufficient ventilation to allow for heat dissipation.
• Position the ultracentrifuge on a level surface, such as a sturdy
table or laboratory bench, within 4 m (12 ft) of a supply of clean,
compressed air at about 42 psig (290 kPa), but not over 75 psig
(517 kPa).
• In addition to space for the ultracentrifuge itself, allow 7.6-cm
(3-in.) clearances at the sides and back of the ultracentrifuge to
ensure sufficient air circulation.
