The anode shall be of silver, and the cathode of platinum. The current density at the anode shall not exceed 1/5 ampere per square centimetre and at the cathode 1/50 ampere per square centimetre.

Not less than 100 cubic centimetres of electrolyte shall be used in a voltmeter

Care must be taken that no particles which may become mechanically detached from the anode shall reach the cathode.
