LIMITATIONS
- Sample must have an overall thickness greater than 0.020 inch
– Burn or alteration occurs in the test material up to a depth of 0.010 inch depending on the analysis performed
- Test must be performed within specific temperature criteria to ensure both the accuracy of the analysis and the integrity of the equipment.
– Ambient temperature must be between -4 °F and 104 °F
