The organic peroxide in its commercial package is placed in the test chamber. A constant temperature air environment is maintained for seven days. If self-accelerating decomposition does not occur, the test is repeated at a higher temperature. Sufficient tests are made to determine an air temperature at which the package survives and an air temperature at which the sample undergoes autoaccelerative decomposition and damages the package where the temperature difference is not greater than 6 °C.

The most efficient method of verifying the integrity of a new existing sewer line is through low pressure air testing. To test a line to meet acceptance standards, the line is plugged at both manholes using the isolator Leak Locator Pluggs. The line is then pressurized using the isolator Air Test Panel to control both the plug inflation and test section pressures. To pass the acceptance test, the sewer must retain a specified air pressure for a specific period of time. Failure to hold the pressure indicates that a leak is present. 2, record 13, English, - air%20test

To assess the sensitivity of isocapnic hyperventilation with cold air in detecting airway hyperreactivity in asthmatic children, we studied 13 asthmatic patients ... and 10 normal children. Cold air challenge consisted of 4 minutes of moderate hyperventilation plus another 4 minutes of maximal hyperventilation, both with subfreezing air (-16 degrees to -18 degrees C) ... We conclude that exercise and cold air-induced bronchospasm have different physiologic mechanisms, and that cold air testing can be used as a routine challenge to identify airway hyperreactivity in children. 1, record 17, English, - isocapnic%20hyperventilation%20with%20cold%20air
