Separation of Funnel and Panel Glass

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Health and Safety

Equalize the pressure in the CRT glass body in the very beginning to prevent explosion.

Wear protective equipment to smash the magnetic deflector with a hammer as flying splints can injure personnel.

CRTs must be handled carefully also after pressure equalizing to ensure that no substances of concern are released. CRT glass bodies should be further processed only in industrial channels with adequate facilities.

      • Before starting to separate funnel and panel glass, make sure the CRT is not under pressure anymore (see Step 3 of Separation and Removal of all Components).

      • Place the CRT firmly in a clamp or a similar device.

      • First, the metal tension ring must be removed from the tube.

      • Remove sticker and other adhesive residues from the tube with a putty knife.
