40、concentrations and the true concentrations (see table 1). Sum these differences arithmetically, .e. ignoring the signs, and divide the sum by the number of measurements (18) to give the mean difference (2). If the mean difference (4) exceeds 0.1 pg/g (0.00001 % mlm), check the procedure, instrumenta

42、 Calculate the arithmetic means of the absorbance values for lead obtained from the measurements on each of the six test portions (5.2.4.1 to 5.2.4.6) and correct for the arithmetic mean of the nine absorbance values obtained from the measurements on the reagent blanks (5.2.5.1 to 5.2.5.3). Using t

43、he mean values, read off or calculate from the calibration the lead concentration in pglg (% mlm) for each of the six test portions (5.2.4.1 to 5.2.4.6).
