a temperature of 65 C. Once the temperature has been reached the
H2S must be injected until a given pressure has been reached and
these conditions must be maintained for 1 hour. After this exposure,
the samples must be removed from the desiccator and submitted to a
temperature of 65 C for an additional hour.
