Optional Sample Inlet Filter - Thermo Scientific Orion 8030cX Instruction Manual

2. Loosen the nut on the large straight joint, then
insert the larger overflow tubing (16 mm OD),
which sends sample overflow to drain. Tighten the
nut to make sure the tubing fastened.
3. Use two M4x40 screws to attach the flow cell on
the left side of 8030cX silica analyzer.
4. Screw the fittings in the sampling tube of Silica
analyzer into the left side of flow cell.

5. Insert the end of the overflow drain tube to the
correct drain location, secure the tubing if needed
to prevent slip off.

Optional Sample Inlet Filter

If the sample source is ultrapure water, no filter is needed.
If sample source is not ultrapure water or it may contain
large particles (e.g. startup of a power plant could release
rusty particles to boiler feedwater), then a pre-filter with
~200 um pore size is needed. Thermo Fisher provides a
prefilter Y-strainer with part # 7070FLT. This filter contains
two adaptors that connect the ½" NTP thread on Y-strainer
to 6mm (or ¼") OD tubing.
To install, put Teflon tape on the thread size of the
adaptors. Screw in one adaptor to one end of the Y-
strainer. Then, loose the nut (cap) on the other side of the
adaptor. Push in 6mm (or ¼") OD soft tubing to the adaptor
hole and tighten the nut (cap). The other side of the soft
tubing goes to the inlet of the flow cell (in step 1 of flow
cell installation above). Then, connects the other side of
the Y-strainer to the source water through ½ " NTP thread
or a 6mm (¼") OD tubing with the adaptor on. Mount the
Y-strainer on a wall or fixture with cable ties.
