Division 6.2.16.2

If any insoluble matter is present, or in case of doubt, completely extract the fat from the flasks by repeated washing with warm light petroleum, allowing the undissolved material to settle before each decantation. Rinse the outside of the neck of the flask three times. Heat the flask, placed on its side, for one hour in the oven, allow to cool to the temperature of the balance room as before (6.2.1) and weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg. The mass of fat is the difference between the mass obtained at 6.2.15 and this final mass.
