8、formon a reel. The skein is cut, removed from the reel and weighed.Linear density is calculated using the mass of the skein and thelength of yarn.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for accep-tance testing of commercial shipments because current esti-mates of betwe
9、en-laboratory precision are acceptable and themethod is used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing.5.1.1 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative tests should be performed to determine if there isa statisti
10、cal bias between them, using competent statisticalassistance. As a minimum, use samples for such comparativetests that are as homogeneous as possible, drawn from the samelot of material as the samples that resulted in disparate resultsduring initial testing, and randomly assigned in equal numbersto
11、each laboratory. The test results from the laboratoriesinvolved should be compared using a statistical test forunpaired data, at a probability level chosen prior to the testingseries. If bias is found, either its cause must be found andcorrected, or future test results for that material must beadjus

Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take a random number of shipping units directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenthe purchaser and the supplier, such as an agreement to usePractice D2258.
19、Consider shipping cases or other shippingunits to be the primary sampling units.NOTE 2An adequate specification or other agreement between thepurchaser and the supplier requires taking into account the variabilitybetween shipping units, between packages or ends within a shipping unit,and between spe

21、irected in an applicablematerial specification or other agreement between the pur-chaser and the supplier, such as an agreement to use PracticeD2258. Preferably, take the same number of packages fromeach of the shipping units selected. If differing numbers ofpackages are to be taken from the shippin
22、g units, determine atrandom which shipping units are to have each number ofpackages for testing.7.3 Test SpecimensFrom each package in the laboratorysample, prepare one test specimen from each laboratorysampling unit.

36、Any modification to the method.13. Precision and Bias13.1 An interlaboratory study was performed in 1997 toestimate variability of the test method. The study included twolaboratories. Eight cakes of 40 denier elastomeric yarn pro-duced under the same conditions were used in the test. Fourcakes were
37、distributed to each laboratory. These four cakestested 2 times per week for five weeks. One specimen per cakewas tested on each test date. ANOVA was used to determinevariance components.13.2 Method repeatability is defined as the “maximumdifference” that can “reasonably” be expected between two test
38、results obtained on the same material when the test results areobtained in the same laboratory. Repeatability standard devia-tion, sr, is taken to be the square root of the “specimen”variance component, and represents within-operator precision.Since only one specimen per cake is used in this method,
39、 srandmethod repeatability for this test are equal to zero. Methodreproducibility is defined as the “maximum difference” that can“reasonably” be expected between two test results obtained onthe same material when the test results are obtained fromdifferent laboratories.4sR, the total standard deviat
40、ion, isformed by taking the square root of the sum of intra- andinter-laboratory variance components.NOTE 4Because the interlaboratory test included less than the recom-mended five laboratories, estimates of precision data in Tables 1 and 2may be either underestimated or overestimated to a considera
41、ble extentand should be used with special caution.13.3 BiasThe procedure of this test method produces atest value that can be defined only in terms of a test method.There is no independent, referee method by which bias may bedetermined. This test method has no known bias.14. Keywords14.1 elastomeric
