Is a fluorometer main body 10 and a marker plate 2 which constitute the fluorometer A.
0 is a perspective view of the discharge prevention ring R 1 , FIG. 3 is a plan view of the fluorometer A, FIG. 4 is a front view in which a part of the fluorometer A is broken, and FIG. FIG. 7 is a perspective view for explaining the molding of the drainage prevention ring R 1 , and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the marker plate 20 is prevented from falling when the water to be measured W is drained. As shown in FIG. 5, the discharge prevention ring R 1 is formed by cutting a vinyl chloride pipe 31 having an outer diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the fluorometer body 10 into a predetermined width to form a ring body 32. The ring body 32 is formed by cutting a part of the ring body 32 in the circumferential direction to provide a notch 32a. The discharge prevention ring R 1 thus formed is used by fitting it into a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the fluoroscopy main body 10 slightly lower than the uppermost end. The discharge prevention ring R 1 is formed as described above and slightly compresses in the radial direction.
When the compressive force is released after fitting into the inner peripheral surface of the upper end of the, the restoring force causes the discharge prevention ring R 1 to be stably attached to the above portion of the fluoroscopy main body 10. Since the discharge prevention ring R 1 can be compressed in the radial direction, it can be easily removed.
