14、e shall be transferred to a tared shallow dish, heated for two hours at 600., cooled in a desiccator and weighed. The loss in weight sha be calcuiated as percentage of volatile matter in the sample. 4.3.4 Ash, A weighed portion of approxi- mately five gm, of the sample shall be trans- ferred to a ta
15、red porcelain or silica crucible and sufficient alcohol then added to cover the material, The mixture shall be ignited, allowed to burn down slowly and then heated to redness until aii carbon has been removed.
