9、 ignited to constantweight at 550 6 25 C.In the case of alum-coagulated rubbers,which tend to boil over during ashing,wrap the sample tightlyin a 150-mm ashless filter paper before ashing.Place thecrucible containing the sample directly into the muffle furnaceat 550 6 25 C and allow it to remain the
