24、1 These precision statements have been prepared in accordance with Practice D4483. Refer to this practice for terminologyand other statistical details.10.1.2 The precision results in this precision and bias section give an estimate of the precision of this test method with thematerials used in the p
25、articular interlaboratory program described below. The precision parameters should not be used foracceptance or rejection testing of any group of materials without documentation that they are applicable to those particularmaterials and the specific testing protocols of the test method. Any appropria
26、te value may be used from Table 1.10.1.3 A type 1 inter-laboratory precision program was conducted as detailed in Table 1. Both repeatability and reproducibilityrepresent short term (daily) testing conditions. The testing was performed using two operators in each laboratory performing thetest once o
27、n each material on each of two days (total of four tests).10.1.4 The results of the precision calculations for this test are given in Table 1. The materials are arranged in ascending “meanlevel” order.10.1.4.1 RepeatabilityThe pooled absolute repeatability, r, of this test has been established as 0.
28、40 pH units. Any other valuein Table 1 may be used as an estimate of repeatability, as appropriate. The difference between two single test results (ordeterminations) found on identical test material under the repeatability conditions prescribed for this test will exceed therepeatability on an averag
29、e of not more than once in 20 cases in the normal and correct operation of the method. Two single testresults that differ by more than the appropriate value from Table 1 must be suspected of being from different populations and someappropriate action taken.NOTE 5Appropriate action may be an investig
30、ation of the test method procedure or apparatus for faulty operation or the declaration of a significantdifference in the two materials, samples, etc., which generated the two test results.10.1.4.2 ReproducibilityThe pooled absolute reproducibility, R, of this test has been established as 1.65 pH un

The difference between two single and independenttest results found by two operators working under the prescribed reproducibility conditions in different laboratories on identicaltest material will exceed t
32、he reproducibility on an average of not more than once in 20 cases in the normal and correct operationof the method. Two single test results produced in different laboratories that differ by more than the appropriate value from Table1 must be suspected of being from different populations and some ap
33、propriate investigative or technical/commercial action taken.10.2 BiasIn test method terminology, bias is the difference between an average test value and the reference (true) test propertyvalue. Reference values do not exist for this test method since the value or level of the test property is excl
34、usively defined by thetest method. Bias, therefore, cannot be determined.TEST METHOD BSONIC SLURRY11.
