Precision and Bias312.1 This precision and bias section has been prepared inaccordance with Practice D 4483. Please refer to this practicefor terminology and other statistical calculation details.12.2 The pre

21、cision results in this precision and bias sectiongive an estimate of the precision of this test method with thematerials (rubbers, etc.) used in the particular interlaboratorytest program (ITP) as described below. The precision param-eters should not be used for acceptance or rejection testing ofany

22、 group of materials without documentation that the param-eters are applicable to the particular group of materials and thespecific testing protocols of the test method.12.3 A Type 1 interlaboratory test program was conductedin 1998 on three materials or compounds (A, B, C) containing35 % carbon blac

23、k; A = EPDM, B = NBR and C = SBR.Thirteen laboratories participated in the ITP conducting dupli-cate tests on each of two successive test days. A test result isthe average of two measurements for each of the testsconducted; % organics, % carbon black and % ash. Thedatabase generated by the ITP was s

24、ubjected to h-outlier andk-outlier analysis as given by Practice D 4483. Several outlyinglaboratories were found for the tests; the outlier values weredeleted and replaced by the average values for all laboratoriesfor that test and material. The revised database (outliersremoved) was then analyzed f

25、or test method precision. Theresults are given in Table 1. The results in the table indicate thatthe precision for the NBR compound is substantially poorerthan for EPDM and SBR.12.4 RepeatabilityThe repeatability r, for each test (or-ganics, carbon black, ash) of this test method has beenestablished

26、 as the value tabulated in Table 1 for each material.Two single test results, obtained under normal test methodprocedures, that differ by more than this tabulated r (for anygiven level) must be considered as derived from different ornonidentical sample populations.12.5 ReproducibilityThe reproducibi

27、lity R, for each test(organics, carbon black, ash) of this test method has beenestablished as the value tabulated in Table 1 for each material.Two single test results obtained in two different laboratories,under normal test method procedures, that differ by more thanthe tabulated R must be considere

28、d to have come from differentor nonidentical sample populations.12.6 The relative repeatability and reproducibility, (r) and(R), also are given in Table 1. These precision parameters havethe same applicability statements as given in 12.4 and 12.5.12.7 BiasIn test method terminology, bias is the diff

29、er-ence between an average test value and the reference (or true)test property value. Reference values do not exist for this testmethod since the value (of the test property) is exclusivelydefined by the test method; therefore, bias cannot be deter-mined.3Supporting data have been filed at ASTM Inte
