32、ls for the water and grease.12.2 Add 50.0 mL of distilled water with a pipet to each flask.12.3 Grease the flask stopper with silicone grease and stopper flasks tightly. Agitate the flasks until the specimen particles arethoroughly wetted.FIG. 1 Specific Conductance of 0.0100 Demal KClD4350 15312.4

33、Place the stoppered flasks in an oven at 71 6 3C for a total of 288 h (12 days).At the end of the first day of oven storage,examine the flasks to determine that no stoppers have become loose or blown off, with consequent loss of liquid (in which eventthe specimen shall be discarded). Agitate the fla

Again agitatethe flas

The conductivity cell constant K is given by K = kR, where k is the specific conductance of thestandard KCl solution at the temperature determined at the time of measurement,5 and R is the measured resistance in ohms of theKCl solution

39、. From the measured specific resistance value, calculate the cell constant K for each of the three KCl samples. K shouldneeds to be approximately 1.0 cm1. The three cell constant values shall be averaged as follows:K 5K11K21K3!/3 (1)No single value shall deviate from the mean value by more than 2 %.

The corrosi

41、vity index is the average of the specific conductanceS for the replicate specimens of each material, and is calculated as follows:corrosivity index5S11S21S3!/3 (3)where S1, S2, and S3 are the calculated specific conductances of the three replicate specimens from 13.2.14.

Precision and Bias615.1 Table 1 is based on a round robin conducted in 1985, involving three materials test

44、ed by five laboratories. For eachmaterial, all the samples were prepared by one source, but each laboratory prepared the individual specimens that it tested. Eachtest result was based on one individual determination. Each laboratory obtained three test results for each material.15.2 In Table 1, for

45、the materials indicated, and for test results that are derived from testing three specimens:15.2.1 Sr is the within-laboratory standard deviation of the average; Ir = 2.83 Sr. (See 15.2.3 for application of Ir.)5 The k value may be obtained from Fig. 1.6 Supporting data are available from ASTM Headq

46、uarters. Request RR:D20-1126.D4350 15415.2.2 SR is the between-laboratory standard deviation of the average; IR = 2.83 SR. (See 15.2.4 for application of IR.)15.2.3 RepeatabilityIn comparing two test results for the same material, obtained by the same operator using the sameequipment on the same day
