41、e to the nearest 0.1 milligram and transfer to a 400 ml beaker. Add approximately 250 ml of solvent to the beaker. Dissolve the wax in the solvent by placing the beaker and contents on a steam bath and heat at a temperature of 65Oc minimum. Continue heating until the wax dissolves (stirring may be u
42、sed). Filter the hot solution through the previously conditioned and tared hot crucible with the aid of suction. Maintain the crucible and contents at above 6OoC to prevent the wax from coming out of the solution. Use a heat gun or other commercially available equipment to maintain the temperature o
43、f the solution. Wash the crucible with hot sol- vent until the residue and crucible are free from wax, or until approximately 5 ml of the washings, when evaporated to dryness, leaves no residue. 7 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-W

The percentage of insoluble matter is calculated as follows: Percent insoluble matter = 100A W Where : A = increase in weight of filtering crucible, in gm. W = weight

The aqueous extracts shall be combined. The extract shall be tested with red litmus paper of such sensitivity that its color
48、 is completely changed in one minute by .O04 Wormal (N) sodium hydroxide solution. The water extract shall be considered to be alkaline if upon application - red litmus paper changes color within 30 seconds. The water extract shall be reserved for determination of acidity (see 4.5.7). cator shall be
49、 added to the water extract, obtained as specified in 4.5.6, and the solution shall be titrated with approximately 0.1N sodium hydroxide solution. A blank determination shall be made on the same quanitities of benzene and water as were used in dissolving and ex- tracting the sample. Any acidity shall be calculated to percentage of acetic acid in the sample as follows: 4.5.7 Acidity.-Thyee drops of phenolphthalein indi- 8 #
