A. Pycnometer Not Getting Vacuum
1. Check 'O' ring to make sure it is clean and in good shape. If not,
contact ELE/Soiltest for a replacement 'O' ring.
2. Check to make sure the water inlet valve is on tight.
3. Tighten the stopcock nut (at bottom of stopcock) of the water inlet
valve.
B. Air Bubbles Entering from the Water Inlet Valve
1. Check to make sure the water inlet valve is on tight.
2. Tighten the stopcock nut (at bottom of stopcock) of the water inlet
valve.
C. Clogged In-Line Filter
Replace the filter assembly.
D. Too Many Air Bubbles in Water
1. Air bubbles come from dissolved air in water. Check for this by
opening water inlet valve (keeping the water inlet hose connected
to the water supply) after you have gone through Step 8 of the
operating procedure. The air bubbles should dissolve back in water
at atmospheric pressure.
2. Try filling the pycnometer with boiled water (after it has been
cooled).
If problem still persists, call ELE/Soiltest Service Department for
assistance.
