1. Clean the electrodes scrupulously as follows before each sample is tested, being careful not to touch any part except the con tact terminals. (When the electrodes lose their high polish, deliver to the chief analytical chemist, who will consider hav ing them replated.)
a. Scrub thoroughly with hot tap water and trisodium phosphate using the brush reserved exclusively for the purpose.
b. Rinse thoroughly with hot tap water.
c. Next rinse thoroughly with distilled water.
d. Dry the electrodes in the special oven at 120C for 1 hr. standing erect on a clean sheet of lintless paper.
2. Clean a 1000-mli beaker, the glass electrode spacer, and a -10 to 220C. thermometer as follows before each sample is tested:
a. Scrub thoroughly with hot tap water and trisodium phosphate using the brush reserved exclusively for the purpose.

b. Rinse thoroughly with hot tap water.
( c. Place the spacer and the thermometer in the beaker, fill
with chromic acid cleaning solution (ca. 6oC.), and
allow to stand 15 min. Discard the cleaning solution after it becomes green.
d. Rinse thoroughly with hot tap water.
et Finally rinse thoroughly with distilled water and drain well.
f. Dry tho clootrode-s in the special oven at 120C. for 1 hr* standing erect on a clean sheet of lintless paper.
3. Remove the apparatus from the oven. Immediately place the spacer in the bottom of the beaker, put the two electrodes in the spaoer grooves, and the thermometer outside the outer electrode.
4. Place the beaker in the electric heater which has also been
preheated.

a. Allow electrode leads to hang free. ,
b. Close double-pole, single-throw switch.
c. Turn toggle switch on amplifier to "On" position.
d. Turn frequency dial to "1000
e. Turn amplifier volume dial to give.a volume of sound as experience dictates.
f. Adjust precision condenser to 1600 mmf.
g. Adjust variable condenser to a null point, using the re sistance box if necessary.
6. Connect the red lead of the dielectric constant set to the inner eleotrode end fthe black to the outer electrode.
7. Adjust the precision condenser to a second null point and read (+ 0.5 mmf.).

9. Stir slowly. Vvhen the sample reaches 100.0 + 0.5C., remove the thermometer and check the electrodes to see that they are properly spaced.
10* Immediately rebalance the precision condenser to a null point end read (+ 0.5 mmf.).
11. Next determine resistivity (Method No. 10,120-43) if required.
