Measurement of Physical Properties

This document focuses on the measurement of physical properties of samples, specifically tests for appearance, odor, and taste, while distinguishing them from chemical or biological concentrations. It includes various determinations such as color, electrical conductivity, and turbidity, which are categorized as physical properties, although some tests may relate to chemical composition. The content aims to maintain a clear distinction between physical methods and other testing methods, such as chemical or biological tests.
