16、telybelow the test membrane filter is also determined.The objec-tive of using a control membrane is to assess whether the fuelitself influences the weight of a membrane.The particulatecontaminant is determined from the increase in mass of the testmembrane relative to the control membrane filter.4.2 In order to ensure safety in handling,the test methodrequires that volatile fuels be transferred from the samplecontainer to the funnel without pouring using a support standshown in Fig.1.Fuels having
