The method is developed to fit a standard equipment 
configuration with 30 mm specimen on 300mm disc. 
Dosing levels are valid for following equipment:

For advice on how to adjust the method to fit your 
equipment, please take a look at Preparation Parameters.
The preparation time for the plane grinding (PG) step 
depends very much on the condition of the samples and 
if they are prepared as single specimens or clamped in a 
specimen holder. Please check the samples after the first
