Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of lineardimension of flexible packages and packaging materials. It isrecommended

3、 for use with an allowable tolerance range of 3mm (18 in.) or greater based on gage repeatability andreproducibility presented in the Precision and Bias section.2.

5、ange inobservational relationship to a fixed position. For example,looking at a measurement gage from different angles can causevariation in the reporting of that measurement.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a means for measuring lineardimensions. Accurate measurement of dimensio

6、ns can becritical to meeting specifications and characterizing processperformance.4.2 This test method should not be applied to toleranceranges of less than 3 mm (18 in.) when it is preferable that testerror does not exceed 30 % of tolerance range.

Apparatus5.1 Precision Steel Rule:5.1.1 Tempered steel rule in increments of164 in., 100ths, or12 mm.5.1.2 Steel rule should be of s

8、ufficient length to measure fulldimension of interest.5.1.3 It is recommended that a calibration be performed onthe apparatus used and it is certified to a recognized industrystandard.6. Sampling6.1 The number of samples tested should be adequate to bepredictive of performance. Caution should be tak

9、en wheneliminating samples with defects as this can bias results.6.2 See Practice D1898 for guidance on sampling practices.7. Conditioning7.1 Conditioning of the samples will depend on the materialunder evaluation. If conditioning before testing is appropriate,normal, and desirable, then condition t

10、he test specimens at 236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 5 % relative humidity for notless than 24 h prior to test.7.2 See Practice D4332 for guidance on conditioning prac-tices.8. Procedure8.1 Review applicable specifications, drawings, or proce-dures. Specify unit of measure to be used and directions re

11、latedto precision requirements (for example, measure to nearest 0.5mm, round up or down to nearest 0.5 mm, to164 in., etc.).Depending upon the level of accuracy and visual acuity, imagemagnification may be an aid.8.2 Lay sample to be measured on flat surface with suffi-cient color contrast to distin

12、guish the edge of the sample.Sample should lay flat and smooth without wrinkles, creases orfolds. Material should not be under tension when measured.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F02 on FlexibleBarrier Packaging and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F02.20

Care should be taken to properlyalign sample to avoid skewing errors. A ruler may be set onedge along the surface r

16、ather than laid flat if the risk of parallaxerror is apparent.8.4 Carefully align the starting point of the measurement tothe leading edge of fixed scale division on rule (Fig. 1,Example A). Then measure to the end point of the character-istic. Note the scale division on the ruler that corresponds t

17、o theend point of the measurement. Determine the measurement bysubtracting the start point measurement from the end point.Record the number in the unit of measure and precisionrequired by specification.9.

18、 loca-tion and operator of test and complete identification of mate-rials being tested,9.1.2 Any conditioning of the materials,9.1.3 Any and all deviations from standard, and9.1.4 The sampling plan and number of specimens testedalong with test results.10.

19、eport4describes a round robinconducted in 2001 in accordance with Practice E691, involvingseven laboratories measuring 13 dimensional attributes of fivepackaging materials. Materials and measurement attributes arelisted in Table 1. Measurements taken included use of steelrules scaled in inch and mil

20、limetre divisions. Statistical sum-maries of repeatability (within a laboratory) and reproducibility(between laboratories) are listed in Tables 2 and 3. All testresults are expressed in SI millimetre (mm) units of measure.10.2 Concept of “r” and “R” in Tables 1 and 2If SrandSRhave been calculated fr

21、om a large enough body of data, andfor test results that are averages from testing 3 specimens foreach test result, then the following applies:10.3 Repeatability “r” is the interval representing the criti-cal difference between two test results for the same material,obtained by the same operator usi

22、ng the same equipment on thesame day in the same laboratory. Two test results shall bejudged to be not equivalent if they differ by more than the “r”value for that material, in this instance approximately 0.528mm. That is, it can be expected that the same operatormeasuring the same sample may obtain

23、 a reading that varies byup to 0.528 mm (0.0208 or approximately164 in.).10.4 Reproducibility “R” is the interval representing thecritical difference between two test results for the samematerial, obtained by different operators using different equip-ment in different laboratories, not necessarily o

24、n the same day.Two test results shall be judged to be not equivalent if theydiffer by more than the “R” value for that material, in thisinstance approximately 0.815 mm. That is, it can be expectedthat different operators using different equipment in differentlaboratories may obtain readings that var

25、y by up to 0.815 mm(0.0320 or approximately132 in.).10.5 Any judgment in accordance with 10.3 or 10.4 willhave approximately 95 % (0.95) probability of being correct.10.6 BiasThere are no recognized standards by which toestimate the bias of this test method.11.
