Safety Hazards7.1 Some plastics and fillers are known to contain toxiccomponents and special precautions are required in handling.The manufacturers precautionary instructions and sound labo-ratory safety practices should be diligently followed.8. Sampling8.1 Because of the

Agitate the flasks until the specimenparticles are thoroughly wetted.12.4 Place the stoppered flasks in an oven at 71 6 3C fora total of 288 h (12 days). At the end of the first day of ovenstorage, examine the flas

29、ks to determine that no stoppers havebecome loose or blown off, with consequent loss of liquid (inwhich event the specimen shall be discarded). Agitate theflasks in order to break up large aggregates of the test specimenand to dislodge air bubbles that tend to float particles of the testspecimen, th

Calculation13.1 Calculate the cell constant. The conductivity cellconstant K is given by K = kR, where k is the specificconductance

34、 of the standard KCl solution at the temperaturedetermined at the time of measurement,5and R is the measuredresistance in ohms of the KCl solution. From the measuredspecific resistance value, calculate the cell constant K for eachof the three KCl samples. K should be approximately 1.0 cm1.The three

For eachmaterial, all the samples were prepared by one source, but eachlaboratory prepared the individual spe

41、cimens that it tested.Each test result was based on one individual determination.Each laboratory obtained three test results for each material.15.2 In Table 1, for the materials indicated, and for testresults that are derived from testing three specimens:15.2.1 Sris the within-laboratory standard de

(See 15.2.4 for application of IR.)15.2.3 RepeatabilityIn comparing two test results for thesame material, obtained by the same operator using the

43、sameequipment on the same day, those test results should be judgednot equivalent if they differ by more than the Irvalue for thatmaterial and condition.15.2.4 ReproducibilityIn comparing two test results forthe same material, obtained by different operators using differ-ent equipment on different da

44、ys, those test results should bejudged not equivalent if they differ by more than the IRvaluefor that material and condition. (This applies between differentlaboratories or between different equipment within the samelaboratory.)15.2.5 Any judgment in accordance with 15.2.3 and 15.2.4will have an app
