The test solution must be freshly prepared before an installation test is
performed, to prevent the acetone from evaporating.
Make sure that the purified water and the test solution are equilibrated to
room temperature.
Action
Connect the feed outlet to the flow kit permeate and retentate inlets with a
T-connector.
Connect ⅜" i.d. flexible tubing on XV-082, XV-083, XV-071, XV-031 and
XV-034 (P-203 or AE-131) outlet and place in a container with purified
water.
For a description on how to make the connection, see
