Summary of Test Method4.1 The entire lot of raw wool is weighed, prepared,scoured, and dried in the usual commercial equipment, w
12、ithspecial 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,mineral matter, vegetable-matter base, and other alkali-ins
13、oluble 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 method for the determination of the wool base contentand th

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 betweenthem, using competent statistical assistance.
