It is assumed that all who use these procedures will be trained analysts capable of performingcommon lab

16、oratory procedures skillfully and safely. It is expected that work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratoryand that proper waste disposal procedures will be followed. Appropriate quality control practices must be followed such as thosedescribed in Guide E882.5.2 This test method is used t

Preci

40、sion and Bias11.1 It is not possible to specify the precision of the procedure in this test method for abrasion resistance because of thevariability of the material at the sampling location and the lack of precision data for the sieving standard used. It is important toretain this procedure as a sta
