16、od.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 A specimen of the sample is cooled under specifiedconditions and,at intervals of 1C,is drawn into a pipet undera controlled vacuum through a standardized wire mesh filter.The procedure is repeated,as the specimen continues to cool,for each 1C below the first test temperature.Testing iscontinued until the amount of wax crystals that have separatedout of solution is sufficient to stop or slow down the flow sothat the time taken to fill the pipet exceeds 60 s or the f
