Waitinq Times <br /> Waiting times after the delivery of product , after product is circulated through the line or <br /> after pumping has stopped are not necessary before valid tests can be conducted . For <br /> the Hourly testing , 2 tests were run after each circulation . As a result , the waiting times <br /> for the hourly testing ranged from 0 minutes to 24 minutes , with an average of 5 . 5 <br /> minutes . <br /> Table 3 .
