9、land base and the receptor is cut to fit the 0.91-kg(2-lb)or the 1.81-kg(4-lb)weight(depending on which one isbeing used).The receptor is mounted to the weight.The testduration is determined by the number of strokes(a stroke is oneback-and-forth cycle)the sample is rubbed.The number ofstrokes desire
