    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes an empirical test procedure intended to indicate the presence of contaminants such as water and solid suspended matter, and the advisability of carrying out drying and filtration treatment. Standardized testing procedures and equipment are essential for the unambiguous interpretation of test results.
