Jerome Chung Hsuing Shiuh received US Patent No. 3,695,763 on October 3, 1972, filed November 27, 1970. It was assigned to Johns Manville.

The patent's abstract:

An improved procedure for determining strength and drainage properties of asbestos slurry. The test sample can be either an asbestos fiber slurry or the effluent from an asbestos fiber wet screening. The turbidity reading varies directly with the amount of fine particles present in the dispersion, which amount is related to the fiber strength. Correlation curves can be made from known fiber samples in order to predict the properties of an unknown asbestos fiber. The drainage properties of the fiber can be determined from the rate of fines removal measured as a change in the turbidity of a slurry. Correlation curves for drainage properties can also be made. The test procedure eliminates errors in filtering, drying, weighing and calculating which could arise in previously used tests.
