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.
