Using the Insertion Rod in the Testing Environment
The insertion rod is now ready to be placed in the testing atmosphere. Since the testing
atmosphere will be extremely hot, placement in the testing atmosphere is usually accomplished
by extending the insertion rod through an access port in the furnace.
WARNING!
Use ANSI-approved eye protection at all times when working with the insertion rod in a plant or
other testing environment. Take any additional precautions necessary to lower the risk of injury
in the environment in which you are working.
IMPORTANT: Hand tighten rod screw until it
screws tightly in place on insertion rod.
