3、lyzer are typically used as surrogates for values that would otherwise have been obtained viaanalyses of process samples using a Primary Test Method (PTM). Successful application of theanalyzer requires that the Predicted Primary Test Method Result (PPTMR) produced by the analyzeragrees with the Pri
4、mary Test Method Result (PTMR) to within some user specified accuracy (bias andprecision). To achieve this goal, it is typically necessary to develop a correlation that relates raw,Uncorrected Analyzer Results (UARs) to PTMRs. The correlation and the analyzers performance arethen assessed during the
5、 analyzer validation to establish the expected agreement between the PPTMRand PTMR. In establishing the correlation, and assessing the performance, it is necessary to know theprecision of both the PPTMR and the PTMR. The precision of the PTMRs is typically establishedthrough statistical quality cont
6、rol procedures described in D6299. The precision of the PPTMRs isestablished via procedures described herein. The techniques used to determine process analyzer siteprecision can also be used for ongoing quality control of the analyzer measurement system.1. Scope*1.1 This practice describes a procedu

Significance and Use4.1 The analyzer site precision is an estimate of the vari-ability that can be expected in a UAR
26、 or a PPTMR producedby an analyzer when applied to the analysis of the samematerial over an extended time period.4.2 For applications where the process analyzer systemresults are required to agree with results produced from anindependent PTM, a mathematical function is derived thatrelates the UARs t
27、o the PPTMRs. The application of thismathematical function to an analyzer result produces a pre-dicted PPTMR. For analyzers where the mathematicalfunction, that is, a correlation, is developed by D7235, theanalyzer site precision of the UARs is a required input to thecomputation.4.3 After the correl
28、ation relationship between the analyzerresults and primary test method results has been established, aprobationary validation (see D3764 and D6122) is performedusing an independent but limited set of materials that were notpart of the correlation activity. This probationary validation isintended to
29、demonstrate that the PPTMRs agree with thePTMRs to within user-specified requirements for the analyzersystem application. The analyzer site precision is a requiredinput to the probationary validation procedures.4.3.1 If the process stream analyzer system and the primarytest method are based on the s
30、ame measurement principle(s),or, if the process stream analyzer system uses a direct andwell-understood measurement principle that is similar to themeasurement principle of the PTM then validation is done viaD3764. Practice D3764 also applies if the process streamanalyzer system uses a different mea
31、surement technology fromthe PTM, provided that the calibration protocol for the directoutput of the analyzer does not require use of the PTM.4.3.2 If the process stream analyzer system utilizes anindirect or mathematically modeled measurement principlesuch as chemometric or multivariate analysis tec
32、hniques wherePTMRs are required for the development of the chemometricor multivariate model, then validation of the analyzer is doneusing Practice D6122.4.3.3 Both the D3764 and D6122 validation practices utilizethe statistical methodology of Practice D6708 to conduct theprobationary validation. Thi
33、s methodology requires that thesite precision for the PTM and the analyzer site precision beavailable.4.4 The procedures described herein also serve as the basisfor a process analyzer quality control system. A representativesample of the QC material is introduced into the analyzersystem in a repeata
34、ble fashion. Such sample introductionpermits capturing the effect of the analyzer system operatingvariables on the UAR and PPTMR output signal from theprocess analyzer. By comparing the observed analyzer re-sponses to the expected response for the QC sample, the fitnessfor use of the analyzer system
35、 can be determined.2For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM website, www.astm.org, orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.

36、ionThe intent of this procedure isto capture samples that are representative of the process streamso that these QC samples can be used to establish and monitorthe precision of the analyzer system.5.1.1 Preferably, capture two QC samples whose propertylevels represent the bottom and top of the range
37、of analyzerservice.5.1.2 For applications where the sample being analyzed isintended to be free of sediment and water, then the QC samplebeing analyzed should also be free of sediment and water.5.1.2.1 Capture the QC sample from a point in the analyzersystem after filtration and coalescing have been
38、 doneNOTE 2Ideally, sample capture should be at the boundary between theprocess analyzer and the local ambient environment, that is, at the exteriorwall where the sample enters the process analyzer. Sample capture at theexterior wall of the process analyzer ensures that all variations attributableto
39、 the sample conditioning system are accounted for. If sample capture atthe exterior wall of the process analyzer is not possible, sample captureshould occur as close to the exterior wall of the process analyzer aspossible.5.1.2.2 If filtering and coalescing that is part of the normaltreatment for pr
40、ocess samples is not done when the QC sampleis captured, it needs to be done when the QC sample isintroduced into the analyzer.Alarger volume of sample will beneeded to account for the volume of the filter and coalescer andthe required size of the QC sample storage vessel will beincreased.5.1.2.3 Re
41、moval of water and other contaminants can im-prove the QC samples storage stability.NOTE 3Care must be exercised that removal of water and othercontaminants does not compromise the integrity of the sample withrespect to the measured parameter(s) of interest.5.1.2.4 Entrained and free water can adver
42、sely affect somesample vessel materials of construction.NOTE 4Sample vessel used to store QC materials shall be constructedof materials that do not interact with the sample so as to alter measuredparameter(s) of interest.5.1.3 For applications where the sample being analyzed isintended to include se
43、diment or water, or both, then the QCsample should also include sediment or water, or both.5.1.3.1 For such multiphase QC samples, the sample mustbe homogenized prior to introduction into the analyzer.5.1.3.2 A common application of this type would be themeasurement of sediment or water, or both, in
44、 crude and fueloil.5.1.4 The process analyzer system should include a linesample collection facility to permit capture of aliquots of theprocess stream for analysis by the PTM.5.1.4.1 The line samples shall be used to assess the validityof the sample collected before starting the process analyzer si
45、teprecision data collection process.5.1.4.2 Using the line samples permits the PTM site preci-sion determination using the same sample as the processanalyzer.5.1.4.3 The line samples shall be used to test the stability ofthe sample stream during the sample collection process.5.1.5 This practice requ
46、ires the delivery of a stable repre-sentative sample from the process through the sample deliverysystem to the sample vessel.5.1.6 It is highly preferred to have the process streamquality held constant during the QC sample collection process.5.1.6.1 If the sample quality collected from a process uni
47、tcan change during the sample collection process then the QCsample vessel must be equipped with mixers to ensure that theQC sample is homogeneous.5.1.6.2 Systems where the QC sample is obtained from afinished homogeneous blend stock or other bulk homogeneousQC sample may not require mixing.5.1.6.3 T
48、his practice assumes that post-mixed QC samplesdo not stratify during storage.5.1.7 In general, sample shall be collected as close aspossible to ambient temperatures.5.1.8 Collect a minimum QC sample volume sufficient for30 valid process analyzer analyses for each measured param-eter of interest. Th
49、irty (30) valid analyses for each measuredparameter of interest translate into 29 degrees of freedom. Thecollected volume shall take into account any required replicateindividual quality control measurements needed to generate avalid result.NOTE 5The size of the collected volume is directly related to theintroduction flow rate to be employed and the expected sample flushvolume required to ensure that the reported process analyzer resultrepresents the introduced sample. The size of the collected volume is alsorelated to the lag time between the sample introductio
