• Unlike other tests…
• The ARC for many years has been the key instrument and technology… Why?
it is not empirical…
• Quantifies the thermal and pressure
• Gives a ‘worst case’ assessment
• Tests widest variety of sample type
• Very many labs using ARC… worldwide
• Different labs anywhere can compare data
