26、 component to the support arm at such a radius that a speed of (60 f 6) mm/s can be obtained. 7.5.3.3 Rotate the head and hood or component so that it is over the burner. Adjust the position of the burner such that the distance between the top of the burner and the lowest part of the apparatus which
27、 is to pass through the flame is (20 f 2) mm. Rotate the head away from the burner. Ignite the gas at the burner.
