» resistance, which can be used as a guide. Link: https://asstroemungstechnik.de/de/chembank Check whether the dispense head shows any damage such as cracks or discoloring. Use the first liters of product as flushing chemistry to condition the dispense head and connections.
Use the correct tightening torque that matches the screw connection. » Please use recommended torque specifications of the respective manufacturer when tightening nuts and screws. The screw connections must be secured against unwinding. » When using flare connections, see also AS flare and assembly instructions.

Assembly / commissioning Check that the o-rings (1) and (2) are in place and undamaged (e.g. Cracks, tears, and residue are signs of damage) and that the venting channel (3) is clear of debris. If a code disk is used check that the code disk (5) is on the dispense head and that the coding matches that of the dip tube (6) and thus the chemical.
Assembly / commissioning 5.3 Mounting the dispense head WARNING Hazard from chemicals! Chemicals can cause irritation and chemical burns. • Observe the proper Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) when handling hazardous substances. • Observe the safety data sheets (SDS) of the chemicals used. •...

Assembly / commissioning Remove the dispense head, if present, from the system-side docking station. Wet the o-ring (4) with ultra pure water. Wetting with ultra pure water minimizes sliding friction and protects the » o-ring from damage. Make sure that electrically conductive dispense heads are properly grounded with a ground wire and terminal.
Page 21
Assembly / commissioning Press the code disk into the recess of the dip tube. 10. Before screwing it on, make sure that the dispense head is not set at an angle to avoid tilting and damaging the threads. 11. Screw on the dispense head with the tightening nut (7) using the torque tool (8) (see Section 3.1) with the correct torque.
Operation 6.1 Tests before each operation Make sure that minimal to no vibrations, e.g. from the fluid pump, are transmitted to the entire system. For electrically conductive dispense heads, check that the entire system is grounded. Follow the ATEX and OSHA instructions and regulations. »...

Disassembly Check that the o-ring on the dip tube closure is present and undamaged. S-Typ / V-Typ T-Typ / W-Typ Place the dip tube closure on the dip tube opening. 10. Close the container by screwing on the dip tube closure (2) hand-tight using the bung wrench (3) (see Section 3.1).
If the decontamination certificate is not properly and completely filled out, » there will be no credit provided or repair. A disposal cost will be applied. It is important to fill out the form for the safety of our personnel as well as the safety of logistic providers.
Maintenance / disposal 9.4 Dispense head disposal WARNING Hazard from chemicals! Chemicals can cause irritation and chemical burns. • Observe residual debris and degassing of diffused chemicals • Observe the safety data sheets (SDS) of the chemicals used. Disassemble the dispense head (see Section “8.1”). Clean the disassembled dispense head (see Section 9.1).
