<p>A nozzle removal assembly including an outlet nozzle (10) for centrifuge rotors and cooperating hand tool. The nozzle (10) has an improved structure for facilitating the installation within and removal from a rotor wall. The centrifuge nozzle (10) includes a body portion (12) having an inlet (16) and outlet (18) ends wherein the outlet end (18) includes a placement channel (52). The placement channel (52) defines a radially inwardly facing engagement surface supported externally to the rotor wall for engagement with a hand tool. The hand tool is adapted for engaging the radially inwardly facing engagement surface of the placement channel (52) wherein both rotational and axial forces may be applied to assist in the removal of the nozzle from the rotor wall.</p> |
