Conditioning10.1 Condition the sample in an atmosphere of 23 6 3Cand 50 6 5 % relative humidity in accordance with PracticeD 6054.11. Procedure11.1 Heat the sample, specimen dish, and syringe for 1.5 60.5 h i

19、n an oven set at a temperature previously determined toproduce a homogeneous liquid.11.2 Remove the sample from the oven and stir gently toensure uniformity, being careful to avoid entraining airbubbles.11.3 Place the specimen dish on the leveled leveling table.With the hot syringe, transfer 5.0 mL

20、of the sample to thespecimen dish in a manner that avoids air bubble entrapment(discharge syringe at or below the specimen surface). Cool thespecimen and specimen dish at 1/23/50 as defined in PracticeD 6054, except the tolerance for temperature shall be 6 3 C.11.4 Gently center the cover electrode

21、on the solidifiedspecimen. The cover electrode should contact the surface of thespecimen.11.5 Transfer the dish with specimen to the comparator.Measure the thickness of the dish base plus the specimen plusthe electrodes to the nearest 0.001 in. (0.0024 mm) in 45increments 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) from the

22、periphery of theelectrode plate. If the greatest difference between the largestand smallest readings is 0.003 in. (0.076 mm) or less, thespecimen is satisfactory. Proceed with the electrical measure-ments. If the difference is greater than 0.003 in., the specimenis excessively wedge-shaped and canno
