Summary of Test Method3.1 In this test method, a sample of the silane is treated withhydrochloric acid and then ignited in a muffle furnace
6、at1000C. The mass retained after this procedure is called theresidue on ignition. It is expressed in percentage of the initialmass.4. Significance and Use4.1 The residue on ignition, which consists essentially ofSiO2, is related to the silicon content of the silane and may beused to verify the compo

Seven laboratoriesparticipated in this study. Each of the labs reported fourreplicate test results for a s

Except for theuse of only a single material, Practice E691 was followed forthe design and analysis of the data.10.1.1 Repeatability limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one laboratory shall be judged not equivale
