Procedure
Set the plunger for a volume of 40 cc.
Hold the base of the syringe firmly against a sturdy horizontal surface.
Slap down on the plunger with the palm of your hand to fully compress the
gas inside the syringe. Hold this position until the temperature and pressure
have equalized and are no longer changing (about 30 seconds).
Release the plunger and allow it to return on its own. (It may not go back to
40 cc.)
NOTE
: Do not use a hammer or mallet on the plunger! Only use the palm of
your hand to push the plunger down.
