It is appearance of molecules or ions of one determined by titration with standard acid or more substances into the interior of a to certain datum points. See API RP 13B* for solid or liquid. For example, in hydrated specific directions for determination of phe- bentonite, the planar water that is held nolphthalein (P ) and methyl orange (M ) alka- f f between the mica-like layers is the result linities of the filtrate in drilling fluids and the of absorption. alkalinity of the mud itself (P ).
