In order to test whether gas is sufficiently purified, one of the papers is moistened with hydrochloric acid of 10 per cent. strength, and the gas issuing from a pet-cock or burner orifice is allowed to impinge on the moistened part.

I is the copper portion of the tension equalizer, while J is the rubber diaphragm; K, the pet-cock for admitting oxygen; F, E, G, the lead pipe conducting the cold water for the ingoing air; and C, the hair-felt insulation.

This is done after first closing the pet-cock on the end of the pipe conducting the gas beneath the floor of the calorimeter room, slipping the glass joint in the rubber pipe leading from the reduction valve to the pet-cock, and breaking the connections between the two rubber pipes, the one from the pet-cock and the other to the reduction valve, also breaking the electrical connection leading to the magnet on the cylinder.

The pet-cock in the pipe behind the meter is then closed, the U-tubes disconnected, and a new set put in place.
