Precision and Bias411.1 Table 1 is based on a round robin conducted in 1987 in accordance with Prac
30、tice E691, involving five materials tested byseven laboratories. Because of the nonuniform nature of large corrugated sheets, the five samples were sequentially sent to theseven participating laboratories. Each test result is an individual determination. Each laboratory obtained three test results f
31、or eachmaterial.NOTE 2The explanation of Ir and IR (11.2 through 11.2.3) are only intended to present a meaningful way of considering the approximate precisionof this test method. The data in Table 1 should not be vigorously applied to acceptance or rejection of materials as these data specific to t
32、he round robinand may not be representative of other lots, conditions, materials, or laboratories.11.1.1 Users of this test method should apply the principles outlined in Practice E691 to generate data specific to their laboratoryand materials or between specific laboratories. The principles of 11.2
33、 through 11.2.3 then would be valid for such data.11.2 Concept of Ir and IRIf Sr and SR have been calculated from a large enough body of data, and for test results that arethe individual result from testing one specimen:4 Supporting data are available from ASTM Headquarters.
