24、relative humidity.9. Procedure9.1 In making a measurement, place the test specimen in thetest cabinet so that it completely covers the 610 by 610-mm (24by 24-in.) space. The transmittance is read on the galvanometerin percent.10. Report10.1 The report shall include the following:10.1.1 The source an

25、d 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 in.) and comprisingat least ten individual measurements.11. Precision and Bias411.1 Table 1 is based on a round robin

26、conducted in 1987 inaccordance with Practice E691, involving five materials testedby seven laboratories. Because of the nonuniform nature oflarge corrugated sheets, the five samples were sequentially sentto the seven participating laboratories. Each test result is anindividual determination. Each la

27、boratory 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 approximateprecision of this test method. The data in Table 1 should not be vigorouslyapplied to acceptance or rejection of m

28、aterials 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 principlesoutlined in Practice E691 to generate data specific to theirlaboratory and materials or between specific la

29、boratories. 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 testresults that are the individual result from testing one specimen:11.2.1 Ir: Repeatability (comparing two test resu

30、lts for thesame material, obtained by the same operator using the sameequipment on the same day)the two test results should bejudged not equivalent if they differ by more than the Ir valuefor that material.11.2.2 IR: Reproducibility (Comparing two test results forthe same material, obtained by diffe

31、rent operators using differ-ent equipment on different days)the two test results shouldbe judged not equivalent if they differ by more than the IRvalue for that material.11.2.3 Any judgment per 11.2.1 and 11.2.2 would have anapproximate 95 % (0.95) probability of being correct.11.3 Bias is systemati

32、c 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 estimateof bias for this test method.12.
