Where should Teflon base lubricant be applied on the sliding block?

Applying Teflon base lubricant specifically on the top angled surface of the sliding block is essential for ensuring smooth operation and reducing friction. The top angled surface is typically where the sliding block interacts with other moving parts, and lubrication in this area minimizes wear and tear, enhances movement efficiency, and aids in maintaining accurate readings during nuclear gauge tests.

Lubricating only the top angled surface helps to direct the lubricant precisely where it's needed most for optimal performance, rather than unnecessarily applying it to all areas where it may not have as much impact or could even attract dust and debris. This targeted application ensures that the sliding mechanism operates smoothly, which is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the measurements taken with the nuclear gauge.
