Page 295 - ... by again applying the flame of the taper as hereinbefore specified; if no flash occurs the test shall be repeated as often as the oil gains five degrees in temperature, three degrees with the lamp under the water bath, and two with the lamp removed.
Page 347 - Generally speaking, the shorter the time elapsing between the collection and the analysis of a sample, the more reliable will be the analytical results. Under many conditions, analyses made in the field are to be commended, as data so obtained are frequently preferable to those made in a distant laboratory after the composition of the water has changed en route. The allowable time that may elapse between the collection of a sample and the beginning of its analysis cannot be stated definitely, as...
Page 295 - Fahrenheit, the lamp shall be removed from under the water bath, and the oil shall then be allowed to rise to the temperature of one hundred degrees Fahrenheit by the residual heat of the water, and at that point the first test for flash shall be made as follows: A taper (hereinafter described) shall be lighted and the surface of the oil shall be touched with the flame of the taper (and it shall be lawful to apply this flame either to the center of the oil surface or to any or all parts of it) but...

The inspector shall further test the oil by applying the taper at every two degrees rise, without removing the lamp or stirring; but if a flash is obtained by this means, by a less rise in temperature than five degrees herein required, he shall at once remove the lamp, stir the oil, and immediately apply the flame.

Page 324 - C. ; if done at 20° add 0.0045 gram for each 10 cc. The melting point of arachidic acid thus obtained is between 71° and 72° C. Twenty times the weight of arachidic acid will give the approximate amount of peanut oil present. No examination for adulterants in olive oil is complete without making the test for peanut oil. Arachidic acid has a characteristic structure and can be detected by the microscope.
