6. Procedure
6.1 Unless otherwise specified in the material specification, determine the moisture content of the composite sample from which
the test specimen is drawn, in accordance with Test Method D3790. Determine the weight of the composite specimens for moisture
content at the same time and under the same ambient conditions as the specimens weighed for chemical tests.
6.2 Place the specimen in a tared porcelain crucible, 5 g weighed to the nearest 0.001 g, and record the value as W . Place the
weighed specimen in a cold muffle furnace or precarbonize over a burner prior to placing in a hot furnace. Gradually raise the
temperature of the furnace to 600 6 25°C and maintain at this temperature for 60 min. Remove the crucible and contents, cool
in a desiccator, and weigh. Replace in the furnace at 600 6 25°C for 30 min and repeat the cooling and weighing procedure until
a constant weight is obtained (60.01 g). If it is difficult to obtain a constant weight, leach the residue with hot distilled water and
filter through an ashless filter paper. Place the filter paper in the crucible and ash. Add the filtrate to the crucible and evaporate.
The crucible shall then be put back in the muffle furnace and heated, cooled, and weighed as above until a constant weight (60.01
g) has been obtained.
