8、al.5.Test Specimen5.1 Prepare a test specimen of known surface area,prefer-ably a piece about 75 mm square.If the anodic coating iscontaminated or impregnated with oil,grease,lacquer,etc.,remove as much as possible of this material before determiningthe mass of the coating.It is not usually practica
9、ble to removethese materials from the pores of the coating,but surface filmscan frequently be removed by wiping the sample with a clothwet with a suitable solvent.5.2 In cases where it is required to measure the mass ofcoating on only one side of a specimen where both sides haveanodic coatings,the f
10、ollowing procedure may be used:5.2.1 Prepare a specimen somewhat larger than required for5.1.5.2.2 Apply a suitable stop off around the edges of thespecimen so that the area on the side of the specimen that is notto be tested is about 75 mm square.Paraffin wax has been usedfor this purpose,but any s
