32、all of the re- quirements for selecting the; original specimen. The toluene solution containing water from the specimen shall be refluxed by the application of heat to the test flask until the water level in the distillation trap maintains a constant level for 15 minutes minimum. The system shall th

Then, 40 to 50 milliliters of toluene, in 10 milliliter increments, shall be poured down the condenser to rinse any water droplets from the surface, The distilla- tion trap shall then be removed from the system, its contents stirred to assure complete se
34、paration of the toluene and water. The volume of the water shall be observed and recorded as V, estimated to the nearest 0.05 miililiter. The total percent of moisture content shall be calculated as follows: Percentage of moisture content = 100 V W Where : V = Volume of water, measured in milliliter

41、omponents shall be the test specimens. The major surfaces sf the two components, or two halves, shall be placed ininti- mate contact so that the greatest possible surface contact is nade. Three such assemblies shall then be placed in an aiir circulating oven maintained at 150, plus or minus 2 degree
42、s F for a period of 30 minutes with each such assembly under an evenly distributed weight comprising 20, plus or minus one pound per square foot of contacted area. When the 30 minutes hav elapsed, the assemblies shall be removed from the oven and placed on a table or any flat surface sufficient in s
43、ize to accommodate the sample. The weights shall then be removed and the contacted surfaces in each assembly separated by lift- ing the uppermost part or half from the lowemst part or half of each two-piece assembly (6). Failure to immediately sepa- rat or any visual evidence of rupture or transfer
44、of surface coating in either part in any of the three assemblies shall he an indication of failure to comply with the requirement, 4.5.7 Inte rfty o structure. - This evaluation shall be performed as hlows: Over a clean smooth surface, the tcst unit shall be broken into approximately two equal parts

(The unit, prior to breaking, should be scored circumferentially close to the center of its length and width to the minimum depth necessary to be readily broken by hand pressure).
