Standardization of Transmissometer6.1 Center the photocell beneath the 31.8-mm (114-in.)diameter hole in the bottom maski
21、ng plate. Place the galva-nometer in a flat level position. Ensure that no current flows inthe electrical circuit by opening the circuit. Adjust the positionof the indicating needle on the galvanometer to read “0 bymeans of the zero adjustment knob. Close the galvanometercircuit. Turn on the illumin
22、ation in the transmissometer. Wait aminimum of 20 min to permit the transmissometer to reachequilibrium conditions. Adjust the galvanometer to read “100.”The instrument is now ready to be used for measurements ofdiffuse light transmission factor.7. Test Specimens7.1 The test specimens shall consist

Report10.1 The report shall include the following:10.1.1 The source and identity of test specimens.10.1.2 The percent transmission of the test specimen.10.1.3 The average thickness of the test specimen in inchesexpressed to the nearest 0.025 mm (0.001
28、in.) and comprisingat least ten individual measurements.11. Precision and Bias411.1 Table 1 is based on a round robin conducted in 1987 inaccordance with Practice E691, involving five materials testedby seven laboratories. Because of the nonuniform nature oflarge corrugated sheets, the five samples
29、were sequentially sentto the seven participating laboratories. Each test result is anindividual determination. Each laboratory obtained three testresults for each material.NOTE 2The explanation of Ir and IR (11.2 through 11.2.3) are onlyintended to present a meaningful way of considering the approxi
30、mateprecision of this test method. The data in Table 1 should not be vigorouslyapplied to acceptance or rejection of materials as these data specific to theround robin and may not be representative of other lots, conditions,materials, or laboratories.11.1.1 Users of this test method should apply the
31、 principlesoutlined in Practice E691 to generate data specific to theirlaboratory and materials or between specific laboratories. Theprinciples of 11.2 through 11.2.3 then would be valid for suchdata.11.2 Concept of Ir and IRIf Sr and SR have beencalculated from a large enough body of data, and for
32、testresults that are the individual result from testing one specimen:11.2.1 Ir: Repeatability The value below which the absolutedifference between two individual test results obtained underrepeatability conditions is likely to be expected to occur with aprobability of approximately 0.95 (95 %).11.2.
33、2 IR: Reproducibility The value below which theabsolute difference between two individual test results obtainedunder reproducibility conditions is likely to be expected tooccur with a probability of approximately 0.95 (95 %).11.2.3 Equivalence testing on numerical data from twosources shall be condu
34、cted in accordance with Practice E2935or any known method for judging the equivalence of twomeans.NOTE 3Example, a t-test.11.3 Bias is systematic error which contributes to thedifference between a test result and a true (or reference) value.There are no recognized standards on which to base an estim
35、ateof bias for this test method.12. Keywords12.1 building panels; diffuse light transmission factor; rein-forced plastics4Supporting data are available from ASTM Headquarters.
