W0

65.4138

63.5762

W1

67.4185

65.5260

W2

65.5493

63.7105

where,
W0 = the weight of crucible
W1 = weight of crucible added with 2 gram of sample
W2 = weight of crucible added with 2 gram of sample after being put inside the
furnace

To calculate ash content of the sample ( %)

W2 - W0
=
- x 100
W1 - W 0

For crucible A :
65.5493 - 65.4138

x 100 % = 6.759 %

67.4185 - 65.4138

For crucible B :
63.7105 - 63.5762

65.5260 - 63.5702

X 100 % = 6.866 %
