5.2 Solvent—Acetone and benzene are the most commonly
used solvents (see Specification D 329); however, other sol-
vents may be used as agreed upon.
5.3 Glass Wool.
6. Procedure
6.1 Weight approximately 10 g of pigment (moisture-free)
into a weighed thimble and record the weight to 0.1 g. For
pigments with high apparent density (bone black, iron oxides,
etc.) a 40-g sample is recommended. Plug the open end of the
thimble with glass wool and place in the siphon cup
