1、Designation: C1542/C1542M 14Standard Test Method forMeasuring Length of Concrete Cores1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1542/C1542M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A n
2、umber in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method is used to determine the length of acore drilled from concrete.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound
3、unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theinch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated ineach system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each systemshall be used independently of the other.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concern
4、s, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Itdoes not meet requirements for determining the distancebetween two parallel surfaces, which represents the thicknessof a structural element often used to establish

Precision and Bias8.1 Precision:8.1.1 With-and between-lab precision of the jaw caliper andruler procedures was estimated from the results of an inter-laboratory study that included 12 laboratories, each measuringthree times a
16、 core from each of three concretes. The length ofthe cores ranged approximately from 64 to 117 mm 2.5 to 4.6in. A report of the results of the interlaboratory study isavailable from ASTM International Headquarters.38.1.2 Jaw Caliper ProcedureThe single-operator coeffi-cient of variation (1S %)4has b
17、een found to be 1.02 %,therefore, two measures of the same core should not differ bymore than 2.89 % (D2S %)4of the mean length of the core.The between-laboratory coefficient of variation (1S %)4hasbeen found to be 1.60 %, therefore, two measures of the samecore by two different laboratories should
18、not differ by morethan 4.23 % (D2S %)4of the mean length of the core.8.1.3 Ruler ProcedureThe single-operator coefficient ofvariation (1S %)4has been found to be 1.94 %, therefore, twomeasures of the same core should not differ by more than5.43 % (D2S %)4of the mean length of the core. The between-l
19、aboratory coefficient of variation (1S %)4has been found to be4.35 %, therefore, two measures of the same core by twodifferent laboratories should not differ by more than 12.18 %(D2S %)4of the mean length of the core.8.2 BiasSince there are not acceptable reference coressuitable for determining the
20、bias of these procedures, nostatement on bias is being made.9.
