The standard is currently worded to require a cork stopper to be used to seal the flask containing the cement being tested. Throughout the standard the stopper is often referred to as the cork. Pack set apparatuses are routinely sold with rubber stoppers and rubber stoppers are commonly used by industry when performing this test. This ballot item replaces instances of cork with stopper to allow stoppers of other materials to be used. The test method still requires the determination of peak voltage be made with each flask and stopper combination.
