PROC

46、EDURE FOR DETERMINING THE UNCERTAINTY IN REPORTED TEST RESULTSNOTE A1.1This procedure is based on the ASHRAE method fordetermining the confidence interval for the average of several test results(ASHRAE Guideline 2-1986 (RA90). It should only be applied to testresults that have been obtained within t

47、he tolerances prescribed in thismethod (for example, thermocouples calibrated and the appliance operat-ing within 5 % of rated input during the test run).A1.1 For the cooking-energy efficiency and productioncapacity results, the uncertainty in the averages of at least threetest runs is reported. For

48、 each loading scenario, the uncertaintyof the cooking-energy efficiency and production capacity mustbe no greater than 610 % before any of the parameters for thatloading scenario can be reported.A1.2 The uncertainty in a reported result is a measure of itsprecision. If, for example, the production c

49、apacity for theappliance is 30 lb/h (13.6 kg/h), the uncertainty must not begreater than 63 lb/h (61.4 kg/h). Thus, the true productioncapacity is between 27 and 33 lb/h (12.2 and 15 kg/h). Thisinterval is determined at the 95 % confidence level, whichmeans that there is onlya1in20chance that the trueproduction capacity could be outside of this interval.A1.3 Calculating the uncertainty not only guarantees themaximum uncertainty in the reported results, but is also used todetermine how many test runs are needed to satisfy th
