Watch the video to learn about the importance of flow in making an oxidant measurement.

Installing a Y-strainer

A y-strainer is an inexpensive and simple solution to help prevent process contaminants from clogging your Argon StabiFlow® or flow cell.

  1. Select your sample line tubing.
  2. Buy 1/2″ male thread fitting to accept whatever size tubing you selected.
  3. Wrap plumbing tape around the threads of the fittings to ensure a good seal.
  4. Thread your fittings onto the y-strainer.
  5. Plumb the tubing into your fitting, making sure the direction of flow through the y-strainer is correct (indicated by an arrow on the y-strainer).
