5. Conclusions
With this laboratory activity, the students were able to learn how a HCF test is
conducted in practice. In particular, the importance of following the standards available
throughout all the steps of the test method. Describe what you can conclude about this
and compare with any given information you retrieve from other sources that allows
you to compare the type of material.
