No more than three clips shall be placedin a jar. The jar shall be filled with tap water at 23 6 2C to alevel no higher than 1.25 cm fro
7、m the bottom of the hangingspecimen. The lid shall then be placed on the jar and thespecimen allowed to condition for 4 h.4.2 After conditioning, the specimen shall be removed fromthe jar and immediately folded grain to grain to form a 2.5 by5 cm rectangle. The folded specimen shall then be placed i
