Summary of Test Method4.1 The entire lot of raw wool is weighed, prepared,
10、scoured, and dried in the usual commercial equipment, withspecial precautions against loss of wool at any stage of theoperations. The commercially dried scoured wool is weighed,then sampled for laboratory determination of its oven-driedweight (mass) and its content of alcohol-extractable matter,mine
11、ral matter, vegetable-matter base, and other alkali-insoluble impurities. The wool base content and the clean woolfiber present are calculated as percentages of the net weight(mass) of the lot of raw wool.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for use as areferee meth
12、od for the determination of the wool base contentand the clean wool fiber present in a lot of raw wool. If thereare differences of practical significance between reported testresults for two laboratories (or more), comparative test shouldbe performed to determine if there is a statistical bias betwe
13、enthem, using competent statistical assistance. As a minimum,use the samples for such a comparative test that are ashomogenous as possible, drawn from the same lot of materialas the samples that resulted in the disparate results during theinitial testing and randomly assigned in equal numbers to eac
14、hlaboratory. The test results from the laboratories involvedshould be compared using a statistical test for unpaired data,probability level chosen prior to the testing series. If bias isfound, either its cause must be found and corrected, or futureresults for that material be adjusted in considerati
15、on of theknown bias.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D13 on Textiles,and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.13 on Wool and Wool Felt.Current edition approved March 1, 2005.
