17、o relate to field performance for allmaterials.5.2 The light penetration of TRMsRECPs may vary considerably depending on the composite materials used in the matrix ofthe mat or due to inconsistency within a given mat. To minimize variation, specific sample size and procedures are indicated inthis te
18、st method to help ensure comparable results.5.3 This test method may be used to determine the effect of different composite materials and make-up of TRMs.makeup ofRECPs on the penetration of light.5.4 This test method may be used for acceptance testing of commercial shipments of TRMs, but caution is
19、 advised sinceinformation on between laboratory precision is incomplete. RECPs. Comparative tests as directed in 5.4.1 may be advisable.5.4.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences in reported test results when using this test method for acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments, the purchase
20、r and the supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there is a statistical biasbetween their laboratories. Competent statistical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias. As a minimum, the twoparties should take a group of test specimens that are as homogeneous as poss
21、ible and that are formed from a lot of material ofthe type in question. The test specimens should be randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. The averageresults from the two laboratories should be compared using StudentsStudents t-testt-test for unpaired date and an accepta
22、bleprobability level chosen by the two begun. If bias is found, either its cause must be corrected, or the purchaser and supplier mustagree to the light of the upon the known bias.NOTE 1The light penetration has no definitive relationship to the amount of ground cover provided by a RECP, as the amou
23、nt of light penetrationmay include light passing through translucent elements or light deflecting off of elements of the RECP structure. Thus, this test method is not intendedto be used to determine a percent ground cover value for RECPs.NOTE 2The user should be aware that the makeup and possible mo
