7、reparing Precision and Bias Statementsfor Test Methods for Construction MaterialsC1437 Test Method for Flow of Hydraulic Cement Mortar3. Summary of Test Method3.1 After initial mixing is complete, the flow of the mortaror plaster is determined. The mortar or plaster is then subjectedto a controlled
8、vacuum suction for 60 s, after which the flow isagain determined. The water retention is the final flow dividedby the initial flow expressed as a percentage.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a means for determining theability of mortars and plasters to retain water under suction.T
9、est results may be used to determine compliance withspecifications.4.2 The results obtained using this test method can be usedto compare the relative ability of mortars and plasters to retainwater under suction.4.3 The results obtained using this test method for masonrymortars do not necessarily ind
10、icate the degree of waterretention when used with masonry units, since the amount ofwater absorbed by the unit depends on the rate of absorption ofthe masonry unit.4.4 The results obtained using this test method for plasters(stucco) do not necessarily indicate the degree of waterretention when the p
11、laster is applied as a second coat on thesurface of a previously applied plaster base coat, since theamount of water absorbed from the second coat of plasterdepends on the rate of absorption of the base coat. This is alsotrue when a plaster is applied as a coating on masonry units.5. Apparatus5.1 Ta

Precision and Bias11.1 PrecisionThe following precision values were calcu-lated from results of tests report
36、ed to Cement and ConcreteReference Laboratory (CCRL) for masonry cement proficiencysamples Number 3 through 42 (Note 4). Within- and among-laboratory standard deviations were calculated by CCRL foreach sample pair. Values were pooled over all 40 samples forpurposes of this analysis. Water retention
37、test results (exclud-ing outliers) ranged from 72 to 88 %. The average number oflaboratories reporting was 69.NOTE 4These tests utilized a slightly different test pressure, 6.7 6 0.4kPa (50 6 0.3 mm Hg).11.1.1 Single-laboratory PrecisionThe single-laboratorystandard deviation has been found to be 3.
38、5 % (Note 5).C1506 16a3Therefore, the results of two properly conducted tests in thesame laboratory on the same material should not differ by morethan 9.8 % (Note 5) in 95 % of such pairwise comparisons.11.1.2 Multilaboratory PrecisionThe multilaboratorystandard deviation has been found to be 5.1 %
39、(Note 5).Therefore, the results of two properly conducted tests indifferent laboratories on the same material should not differ bymore than 14.3 % (Note 5) in 95 % of such pairwise compari-sons.NOTE 5These numbers represent, respectively, the 1s and d2s limitsas described in Practice C670.11.2 BiasS
