as shown in Fig. 1.

A-2. PROCEDURE
A-2.1 Apply the material on two clean metal panels of 60 x 60 mm size tc
give a thickness of 5 mm. Allow the putty to dry for 72 hours. At the end 01
this period, superimpose the two panels, so that the putty layers are under
contact and place-on table A. Lower the steel ball B and plunger C to the
centre of the metal panels and place a weight of 500 g on top of the plunger
.Maintain the pressure on the plunger for 5 minutes. At the end of the t
minutes period, separate the panels and examine for deformation.
A-2.1.1 The material shall be deemed to have passed the test if putt
layers do not get deformed under this load.

- Methods of sampling and test ( third revision ) to a beaker. Dissolve the
whiting in about 20 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid. Digest for 10 minutes on a
steam bath, dilute to 1.50 ml, filter and wash the residue with water. Add a few
miililitres of bromine water, heat to boiling and make the boiling solution
ammoniacal. Filter off the residue, wash it thoroughly and reduce the filtrate by
evaporation to 200 ml. To the slightly ammoniacal solution, heated to boiling,
add an excess of hot ammonium oxalate solution.
Continue boiling till the
precipitate becomes granular. Allow to stand for one hour, filter and wash with
hot water. Pierce the apex of the filter paper with a stirring rod and wash the
precipitate into beaker with hot water. Pour warm dilute sulphuric acid through
