TABLE B
TESTS FOR SPECIAL FORM LICENSED MATERIAL
1. Free Drop - A free drop through a distance of 30 feet onto a flat essentially unyielding horizontal surface, striking the surface in such a position as to suffer maximum damage.
2. Percussion - Impact of the flat circular end of a 1 inch diameter steel rod weighing 3 pounds, dropped through a distance of 40 inches. The capsule or material shall be placed on a sheet of lead, of hardness number 3.5 to 4.5 on the Vickers scale, and not more than 1 inch thick, supported by a smooth essentially unyielding surface.
3. Heating - Heating in air to a temperature of 1,475 E F and remaining at that temperature for a period of 10 minutes.
4. Immersion - Immersion for 24 hours in water at room temperature. The water shall be a pH 6 - pH 8, with a maximum conductivity of 10 micromhos per centimeter.
