FRITSCH PULVERISETTE 6 classic line - Manual (Page 46)

We carry out a worker water bath test on all gassing lids.
The part to be tested is sealed, a pressure of 5.5 bar is
applied and it is immersed in a water bath. If there is a leak,
bubbles will develop. The air bubbles that develop within a
specific interval are evaluated by the worker/tester.
Only gassing lids with a leak rate of <10
‐4 [mbar l/s] are
approved.
When grinding in inert gas, the same conditions apply regarding
clamping and composition of grinding set and balls, as apply for standard
grinding.
Two valves are screwed onto the gassing lid through which you can feed
in inert gas (e.g. nitrogen) before switching on the mill. A Viton flat seal is
used instead of a Teflon one.
7.2.1 Preparation for gassing
Grinding bowls outside the mill can be filled with gas using
the additional clamping system.

n Fill the grinding bowl with grinding balls and grinding stock.
n Put on lid with seal (use Viton seal).
n Insert the grinding bowl (closed with an additional clamping system)
into the grinding bowl holder (8).
n Lock the grinding bowl with gassing lid or grinding bowl with addi-
tional clamping system in the device.
Using the additional clamping system, the following steps can also be
completed in the glove box with subsequent locking into the planetary
mono mill:
n Connect the gassing hose (a) to the inert gas supply using the pro-
vided hose clamp (b).
n Screw the ventilation attachment (e) onto one of the two valves (d).
n Place the coupling (c) of the gassing hose on the free valve. When
doing so, press the lever of the coupling and push the coupling along
the neck of the valve until it goes no further. Release the lever.
