Summary The equipment and the method have been described for measuring the rate of extraction of oil from oilbearing materials by solvent. The method consists essentially of immersing wire baskets containing the oil‐bearing material in a circulating stream of solvent for varying periods of time. After extraction, the baskets are centrifuged to remove excess solvent, and the residual oil in the solids is determined. The method is patterned after one devised by Boucher et al. (1) but has been modified and extended to other oil‐bearing materials.
