BOUT THE
Analysis provides the measurement of sample volume, from which density can be derived
automatically once the sample mass is entered. The unit comes preprogrammed with default
conditions and ready to perform analyses. It can be reprogrammed to meet specific needs.
Analyses can be modified (refer to
control of the primary portions of the analysis: purge and run.

1. Place gas cylinder within 6 feet (2 meters) of the instrument.
2. Connect the proper regulator for the selected gas cylinder:
CGA 580: Nitrogen, helium, argon

CGA 320: Carbon dioxide
n
CGA 590: Air, SF6

3. Connect the provided 1/8 in. copper tubing from the regulator into the analysis gas inlet
located on the rear of the instrument.
4. Open and close the valve on the gas cylinder.
5. Increase the pressure on the regulator to 22 psig (152 kPag), unless another operating
pressure will be used.
6. Use a soapy solution to verify that the connections from the gas cylinder to the instrument
are leak free.

Dry air can be connected to the AccuPyc III and is recommended for analyses at lower
n
temperatures where condensation might happen.
If the analysis temperature is below room temperature and the laboratory is humid, it's a good
n
idea to connect dry air.
Dry compressed air or nitrogen is connected using a 1/8 inch nut.
