16、 PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States14.2.1 Form and Style for ASTM Standards, Section A21,requires that every test method shall contain a statementregarding its precision, preferably as a result of an interlabo-ratory test program. Reporting of such studies is described inPr

17、actice E177, which illustrates the development of test resultsfrom observations and test determinations.4.2.2 Precision statements for ASTM test methods areapplicable to test results. They are not applicable to testdeterminations or observations, unless specifically and clearlyindicated otherwise.5.

18、 Developing the Test Result5.1 A test method may have three distinct stages: (1) thedirect measurement or observation of dimensions or properties,or the occurrence of an event; (2) the arithmetical combinationof observed values to obtain a single determination; and (3) thearithmetical combination of

19、 a number of determinations toobtain the test result of a test method.5.2 Observation:5.2.1 An observation or observed value should be inter-preted as the most elemental single reading or correctedreading obtained in the process of making a test or measure-ment.5.2.2 An observation may be a classifi

20、cation into one of twocategories or a numerical value on a continuous scale. Anobservation may involve a direct reading (for example, azero-adjusted micrometer reading of the thickness of a test stripat one position along the strip) or it may require the interpo-lation of the reading from a calibrat

21、ion curve.5.3 Test Determination:5.3.1 For a quantitative test method, a test determinationmay be described as the process of calculating from one ormore observations a property of a single test specimen, or asthe value obtained from the process. Thus, a test determinationmay summarize or combine on

22、e or more observations.5.3.2 For a qualitative test, such as a binary procedure, thetest determination may be the total number of items falling intoone of the two classifications following repetition of the basicprotocol.5.3.3 In some cases the protocol may require observations tobe made under sever

23、al test conditions and then calculating atest determination from these observations.5.3.4 Test methods for chemical properties are often basedon comparison of the response for a sample to responses of aknown standard substance at varying concentrations. Thestandard curve relates response to concentr

24、ation of the sub-stance of interest. Responses belonging to the standard curve,and to test specimens, are test observations. The test determi-nation is calculated from the response, or average of multipleresponses, for the test specimen using an equation for thestandard curve.5.3.5 Examples of a Tes

25、t Determination:5.3.5.1 The measurement of the density of a test specimenmay involve the separate observation of the mass and thevolume of the specimen and the calculation of the ratiomass/volume. The density calculated from the ratio of one pairof mass and volume observations made on one specimen i

26、s atest determination.5.3.5.2 The determination of the thickness of a test speci-men strip may involve averaging micrometer caliper observa-tions taken at several points along the strip.5.3.5.3 A set of three cigarettes is ignited on a fabric. Eachcigarette is observed to burn or not burn. The numbe

27、r of burnsout of the set of three is a test determination.5.4 Test Result:5.4.1 In general, the test method should describe not onlythe manner in which each test determination is to be made, butalso the number of test determinations to be made and howthese are to be combined to provide the test resu

28、lt.5.4.2 Examples of a Test Result:5.4.2.1 The test method on density might require that themass and volume observations of a specimen be combined togive a test determination of density (5.3.5.1) and the testdetermination of each of five specimens be averaged to give atest result.5.4.2.2 The test me

29、thod for paper thickness may require thatthe determination of strip thickness in 5.3.5.2 be made on tenstrips and that the ten test determinations be averaged to givethe test result.5.4.2.3 The test method for a tensile strength test of papermay specify that a tensile strength determination be perfo

30、rmedon each of ten specimens and that the ten tensile test determi-nations be averaged to get the test result.5.4.2.4 In a chemical analysis, the method may call for thepreparation of a single solution from the sample (test sampleunit), and measurement on three aliquots (specimens) of thesolution. T

31、he average of the three analytical test determinationswould then be the test result. Alternatively, the method maycall for test determinations to be made on different preparations(specimens) of the sample. The average of the determinationswould then be the test result for the test sample5.4.2.5 In r

32、ubber testing, the method may describe not onlythe shape of the test specimen to be taken from a sheet ofrubber, but also the preparation of the sheet, including com-pounding and curing. For example, one rubber test methodspecifies that four sheets be individually compounded andcured and three speci

33、mens tested from each sheet. The testresult is then defined as the average of the four medians, eachmedian being the middle determination, in the order ofmagnitude, of the three values obtained from a sheet.6.
