If
the capillary tube (8064) is broken, it may be replaced as follows:
-
Remove the cap
nut (8054).
-
Carefully remove
the tube guard (8053) from the capillary tubing.
-
Loosen the gland
w/lock nut (8056) using the packing gland wrench (8087).
-
Remove the broken
capillary tube but save the cushions (8073) and cushion tube (8066). These
will be installed on the replacement capillary tube.
-
Check for a loss
of mercury and if any was lost, replace as needed. Note: Mercury may be
added directly to the well glass (8061) at this time.
-
Insert replacement
capillary tube into the well and tighten gland w/lock nut (8056) with the
packing gland wrench. Note: Be sure that the beveled edge of the capillary
tube is inserted into the well (consult print for proper positioning of
the tube).
-
Carefully lower
the tube guard over the capillary tube and then tighten the cap nut (8054).
-
Establish pressure
with the hand pump and check for leaks by applying a soapy water solution
to the areas where leakage may occur.
Note: If the inside
of the capillary tube becomes dirty after prolonged use it may be cleaned
by removing it from the Gauge Tester and rinsing in alcohol. |
