TM 5-6630-218-10 Figure 2.35 Removing Monitor from Sampler 2.5.8 Removing the Free-Water Test Pad for Undissolved Water Testing NOTE: To maximize the accuracy of the reading, the free water test pad should be read within 3 minutes of initiating the sampling. a. Disassemble the stainless steel monitor (pry off the top with the back end of the tweezers) and using the tweezer tips, gently remove the free-water pad. b. Place the pad between two dry, clean paper towels. Using the heel of your hand, press the layers firmly (with approximately 5 pounds of pressure) three or four times to blot excess fluids. NOTE: A pad that is not properly blotted will result in a low reading because the excess fuel will absorb part of the ultraviolet light and decrease flourescence. 2 - 38
