5. Leave the tank stationary and unused for 72 hours. This allows sufficient time for the water to degas and
for the strings to become completely saturated.
Note: If the water is not allowed enough time to degas, microscopic air bubbles may distort the test,
causing inaccurate readings.
6. If necessary after the allotted time, clear any air bubbles by slowly and gently lifting the string phantom
insert out of the water at an angle and then replacing it.
