Safety
C-Flow® LAB 1x1 weighs 1.25 kg when assembled and precautions should be taken to avoid injuries
to feet if the unit is accidentally dropped. Safety shoes should be worn when unpacking, assembling,
disassembling or moving the cell.
The user should carry out a risk assessment before using the C-Flow® LAB 1x1. This should include
a COSHH assessment for the substances under test. Suitable Personal Protective Equipment should
be worn and other suitable measures taken to control the risk of exposure to substances hazardous
to health.
Due to risk of chemical release at pressure, it is recommended that the user measure the pressure
at the entrance to the cell and restrict the liquid flow rate so that the pressure does not exceed 1
bar (gauge). The user should check the pressure rating of any tubing or fittings used with the cell
(not provided). It is recommended that the cell be checked for leaks with a non-hazardous substance
(e.g. water) every time it is reassembled. It is the responsibility of the user to complete a risk
assessment for all aspects of use.

Unpacking
C-Flow® LAB 1x1 is shipped already assembled but not tightened. It is recommended that the cell
be dismantled and reassembled before use. This will familiarise the user with its construction and
to allow user to make changes to the cell set-up e.g. addition of membrane (not provided).
Take care when unpacking the cell to avoid dropping it and causing damage or injury.
