*Note 2
*Note 1: Recover specimens on the metal mandrels for 10 minutes minimum at 200 3C or until the tubing is completely
recovered on the mandrels.
*Note 2: For dielectric strength, immerse the recovered specimens in the fluids for 24 hours at 50 ± 2°C. After drying, place the
specimens over closest fitting metal mandrels.
