: The oxidation stability test need not be always conducted at the time of delivery. It might be replaced by the sample test. : If an abnormal condition is found, then the test interval shall be shortened. : If total acid number exceeds 0.1 mg KOH/g or water content exceeds 0.1 wt% for continuous two test periods, the exchanging interval for earth filter is shortened from every 5 months to every 2 months. If total acid number exceeds 0.2 mg KOH/g, change the earth filter media to alumina filter media [from HILSORB (manufacturer : HILCO) to SELEXSORB (ditto)].
