Calculation Methods
There are three methods to calculate this carbon residue. It may be expressed as Ramsbottom Carbon Residue (RCR), Conradson Carbon Residue (CCR) or Micro Carbon Residue (MCR). Numerically, the CCR value is the same as that of MCR. Sometimes the carbon residue value can be listed as Residual Carbon Content, RCC, which is normally the same as MCR/CCR.
For the test 4 grams of the sample are put into a weighed glass bulb. The sample in the bulb is heated in a bath at 553°C for 20 minutes. After cooling the bulb is weighed again and the difference noted.

Famous quotes containing the words calculation and/or methods:
““To my thinking” boomed the Professor, begging the question as usual, “the greatest triumph of the human mind was the calculation of Neptune from the observed vagaries of the orbit of Uranus.”
“And yours,” said the P.B.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“Parents ought, through their own behavior and the values by which they live, to provide direction for their children. But they need to rid themselves of the idea that there are surefire methods which, when well applied, will produce certain predictable results. Whatever we do with and for our children ought to flow from our understanding of and our feelings for the particular situation and the relation we wish to exist between us and our child.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
