Laminar Flow Testing

• Add food coloring to system prior to inlet
• Start circulation in the system
• Observe flow patterns

Temperature Testing

• Start with room temperature fluid
• Place a thermometer at the inlet and outlet
• Place thermocouple at the specimen location
• Simultaneously read all temperatures at two minute intervals
• Continue until body temperature has been reached and maintained

Salinity Testing

• Heat the system to body temperature
• Record fluid level in the horizontal bath chamber
• Allow passive evaporation for eighteen hours
• Record change in fluid level
