Aquaprep; Mastertech 052 - Micromeritics Saturn II 5205 DigiSizer Installation Instructions And Checklist

Equipment Description

AquaPrep

The AquaPrep has water inlet and outlet connectors on its front panel. The switch for turning it
on and off is located on the rear panel just left of the power cord entrance.
The air removed from the water is exhausted through a small tube also at the front of the
instrument. Placing a small beaker of water around the tube so that its vent is submerged
reveals by its bubbling the rate of air removal. This guides in assessing when sufficient air has
been extracted from the water. Not all dissolved air has to be removed for satisfactory use with
the DigiSizer.

MasterTech 052

The MasterTech 052 is an optional automatic sampling device that operates in conjunction
with the Saturn DigiSizer. The MasterTech allows you to queue as many as 18 predispersed
samples to run consecutively and unattended. It allows samples to be redispersed either by
stirring only or by stirring and disruption with an ultrasonic probe.

Tap water varies greatly in its dissolved air
content and the presence of debris. This water
must be deionized and well filtered before using
with the AquaPrep.
Filtering the water through (at least) a 1-micron
filter will greatly extend the life of the
hydrophobic capsule by means of which air is
removed.
The AquaPrep recirculates water through a
hydrophobic capsule consisting of capillaries.
The result is a diffusion of dissolved air from the
water through the capillary walls and into the
ambient air.
