Significance and Use2.1 This test method covers a procedure to determine themaximum functional wet volume that the utility vac is capableof collecting.3. Apparatus3
5、.1 Voltmeter, to measure input to the cleaner, providingmeasurements accurate to within 61%.3.2 Voltage Regulator SystemThe regulator shall be ca-pable of maintaining the rated voltage (61 %) and frequency(61 Hz) with sinusoidal wave form.3.3 Temperature and Relative Humidity Indicators, to pro-vide
6、 temperature measurements accurate to within 61F (612C) and humidity measurements accurate to within 62%relative humidity.3.4 Weighing ScaleThe scale shall be accurate to 1 % offull scale and have a weighing capacity of at least 250 lb (113.4kg).4. Materials4.1 Water.5. Sampling5.1 Test a sample of
7、each basic model until a 90 %confidence level (about the mean) is established within 65%of the mean value. Test a minimum of three samples. Select allsamples at random in accordance with good statistical practice.NOTE 1See Appendix X1 for method of determining 90 % confidencelevel.6. Conditioning6.1
8、 Test RoomThe test room should be maintained at70 6 5F (21 6 3C) and 45 to 55 % relative humidity.7. Procedure7.1 Equip the vac with a new filter.7.2 Weigh the empty vac including the power supply cord.(Do not include the hose or any accessories.)7.3 Unit must be on a level surface and the shut-off

Fo
10、r cleaners with dual nameplate voltageratings, conduct tests at the highest voltage.7.6 Using the largest hose supplied with the unit, vacuumwater into the vac-tank. Maintain a water pick up rate of 2gal/min throughout the filling cycle.7.7 Collect water with the vac until either one of thefollowing
11、 occurs:7.7.1 The unit stops collecting water, or7.7.2 Water overflows from the vac.7.8 Stop unit and disconnect hose from the vac. Any waterremaining in the hose shall not be included in the maximumfunctional volume.7.9 Weigh the filled vac, including the power supply cord.7.10 Calculate the maximu

Theaverage of the three tests represents the maximum wet func-tional volume that the utility vac is capable of collecting.8. Precision and Bias28.1
15、PrecisionThese statements are based on an interlabo-ratory test involving six laboratories and four units. The rangeof maximum functional volume of the units was from 3.8 to13.5 gal.8.1.1 Repeatability (Single-Operator-Laboratory, Multi-day):8.1.1.1 Repeatability for wet volume values of 5 gal andun

Two values from asample of three should be considered suspect (at the 95 %confidence level) if they differ by more than 12.8 %.NOTE 2The percent difference = (larger smaller) (larger) 100.8.1.1.2
