TEST INFORMATION
WEIGHT OF EMPTY RETORT CELL IN GRAMS (A)
WEIGHT OF RETORT CELL + CUTTINGS IN GRAMS (B)
WEIGHT OF RETORT CELL AFTER STILLING IN GRAMS (C)
WEIGHT OF EMPTY GRADUATED CYLINGER IN GRAMS (D)
VOLUME OF WATER IN GRADUATED CYLINDER AFTER STILLING IN ml (E)

CALCULATIONS
1. MASS OF WET CUTTINGS (MWet) = B - A (MWet)
2. MASS OF DRY CUTTINGS (MDry) = C - A (MDry)
3. MASS OF OIL (MOil) = F -(D + E) (MOil)

(Mo/Mw) x 1000 =MASS OF OIL (g) per Kg of WET CUTTINGS
