BOILING

  • Step 1: Put the test samples in the container (the water level needs to cover the samples by at least 5 mm or more)
  • Step 2: Turn on the heating plate to 100 degrees Celsius and record/observe every 2 hours
  • Step 3: Samples need to be taken out every day and the duration should be recorded. The duration is recorded after the temperature of the hot plate reaches 100 degrees Celsius
  • Step 4: Repeat procedure 1-3 on the second day

 

BOIL THE BOARD UP TO 80 HOURS OR MORE
