Precision and Bias411.1 Table 1 is based on a round r
24、obin involving sevenlaboratories and conducted in 2002 in accordance with PracticeE 180. All labs used potentiometric titration for the generationof the data used in this study. All the samples were prepared atone source, but the individual specimens were prepared at thelaboratories that tested them
25、. Each test result was the averageof two individual determinations. Each laboratory made dupli-cate determinations on each material on each of two days.11.2 PrecisionWarningThe following explanations of r and R (11.2.1-11.2.3) are intended only to present a meaningful way ofconsidering the approxima
26、te precision of this test method. Donot apply rigorously the data in Table 1 to the acceptance orrejection of material, as those data are specific to the roundrobin and may not be representative of other lots, conditions,materials, or laboratories. Users of this test method shouldapply the principle
27、s outlined in Practice E 180 or E 691 togenerate data specific to their laboratory and materials orbetween specific laboratories. The principles of 11.2.1-11.2.3then would be valid for such data.11.2.1 Repeatability, (r)Comparing two replicates for thesame material, obtained by the same operator, us
28、ing the sameequipment on the same day. The two replicate results shall bejudged not equivalent if they differ by more than the r value forthat material.11.2.2 Reproducibility, (R)Comparing two results, eachthe mean of replicates, for the same material, obtained bydifferent operators, using different
29、 equipment in differentlaboratories on different days. The two test results shall bejudged not equivalent if they differ by more than the R valuefor that material.11.2.3 Any judgment in accordance with 11.2.1 and 11.2.2would have an approximate 95 % (0.95) probability of beingcorrect.4Supporting dat
