6、tability was found to be best if the samplesfiltered in less than 5 min. With extended filter times, theweights tend to be high, since the insolubles on blocked filterscannot be rinsed enough to remove oil and coagulant residue.X1.3 Residual coagulant will give high results. The follow-ing were foun
