Cleaning the Measuring Tube

10. Cleaning the Measuring Tube
Usually the tube is cleaned by rinsing it with a suitable
1
solvent.
High viscous liquids (glue and heavy oils, etc.) have to
2
be removed with the cleaning piston which is supplied
with the instrument. Push this piston slowly through the
tube.
 After this, there will be only a thin film of the liquid left
on the walls of the tube which then can be removed with
a solvent.
If the plug is removed during cleaning, it can
subsequently be inserted into the downpipe more
easily if it is moistened.
