6、d Use3.1 This test method practice can be used to compare the output per stroke of different pump dispensers for the purpose ofestablishing dosage and use instructions for products of consumer usage.3.2 This test method practice is suitable for establishing specifications for both the pump dispenser

7、 and the final package.4. Sampling4.1 Select an appropriate number of pump dispensers at random for the precision and accuracy desired. A number of ten testspecimens are recommended, but a minimum of three is acceptable.5. Test Specimens5.1 Test specimens shall be clean pump dispensers with dip tube

If the test specimens are notconditioned at the recommended temperature, this should be noted in the test report discussed in 12.1.6.2 If the te

9、st specimens have been newly-made at the time of the test, it is recommended that the test specimens age at 23 63C (73 6 5.4F) for 24 h before beginning the test. If the test specimens are not allowed to age for 24 h, then it should be notedin the test report as discussed in 12.1.1 This test method

Precision and Bias13.1 PrecisionThe precision of Test Methods Practice D4336 is highly dependent on the parti

27、cular pump tested. Onelaboratory has investigated one particular fine mist pump and a hair spray with three replicate tests using Gravimetric Method #1,yielding an average output per stroke of 0.174 gr. with a range of 0.177 to 0.172 gr. and a standard deviation of 0.0026 gr. Othermechanical pump di

28、spensers will have other averages of output per stroke and will have more or less variability between replicatetests. Users of this test method practice are suggested to reference historical files of previous tests of similar pumps for an estimateof within laboratory repeatability. The committee bel

29、ieves that because of this varying pump style dependency, furtherinvestigation of repeatability and reproducibility is not practicable.13.2 BiasTest Methods Practice D4336 has no bias because an accepted reference or referee value is not available.14.
