The sample chamber, located on the top panel, is where the sample cup is placed for analysis.
The sample chamber should remain capped except when inserting or removing a sample. When
left uncapped, water vapor adsorbs on the inner surface of the chamber and the chamber
temperature stability may be affected. Either condition can affect analysis results. If water vapor
accumulates in the chamber, the pycnometer must be purged.
When cooling the sample block, the sample cap should be kept closed, when
possible, to avoid condensation. In addition, surfaces may be hot when heating the
sample block.
