Measuring Operation - Hitachi L-2100 Instruction Manual

4.2

Measuring Operation

• Beware of ignition hazard when using flammable chemicals such
as organic solvents.
• Always check the following conditions. If an abnormality is
found, stop operation immediately.
• Leakage of solvent or waste solution
• Leakage of solvent inside the instrument
• Inadequate ventilation of the laboratory room
• This instrument is not explosion-proof. Although aqueous
solvents or organic solvents having an ignition point of 70°C or
higher are usable, do not use organic solvents having an ignition
point below 70°C.
• When using flammable chemicals, be careful about possible
ignition due to static electricity. Particularly when using non-
conductive chemicals, employ a conductive vessel made of metal
or the like and provide grounding connection correctly.
Explosion of Vapor from Flammable Chemicals!
• If a flammable chemical such as organic solvent leaks from the
flow path of the instrument and its vapor concentration exceeds
the explosion limit, it may cause spontaneous combustion with
dangerously explosive results.
• When using a flammable and readily volatile chemical, be sure to
check for leakage from the instrument flow path and ventilate the
laboratory room adequately.
