Record the mass of the carbon, W.7.4 Place the graduated cylinder into the holder of thetapping device.7.5 Preset the counter to 1000 taps and start the tappingdevice.7.6 When tapping is completed, read the tapped volume, V,to the nearest 1 mL by estimating
18、the average level of thecarbon surface in the cylinder.7.7 Place the graduated cylinder back into the holder of thetapping device and repeat steps 7.5 and 7.6 until no changes inthe tapped volume of carbon can be observed.8.

Precision and Bias9.1 The precision of this test method is based on aninterlaboratory study of ASTM WK41716, Standard TestMethod for Mechanically Tapped Density ofActivated Carbon,conducted in 201
20、4. Five laboratories participated in this study.Each of the labs was instructed to report three replicate testresults for ten different types of activated carbon material.Every “test result” reported represents an individual determi-nation. Practice E691 was followed for the design and analysisof th
21、e data; the details are given inASTM Research Report No.RR:D28-1008.49.1.1 Repeatability (r)The difference between repetitiveresults obtained by the same operator in a given laboratoryapplying the same test method with the same apparatus underconstant operating conditions on identical test material

26、udgment in accordance with 9.1.1 and 9.1.2would normally have an approximate 95 % probability ofbeing correct. However, the precision statistics obtained in thisinterlaboratory study must not be treated as exact mathematicalquantities which are applicable to all circumstances and uses.The limited nu
27、mber of participants and materials guaranteesthat there will be times when differences greater than predictedby the interlaboratory study results will arise, sometimes withconsiderably greater or smaller frequency than the 95 %probability would imply. The repeatability limit and the repro-ducibility
28、 limit should be considered as general guides, and theassociated probability of 95 % as only a rough indicator ofwhat can be expected.9.2 BiasAt the time of the study, there was no acceptedreference material suitable for determining the bias for this testmethod; therefore, no statement on bias is be
29、ing made.9.3 The precision statement was determined through statis-tical examination of 150 test results, from five laboratories, onten different types of activated carbon material. To judge thereliability of two test results, it is recommended to choose thesample type closest in characteristics to
30、the test material.4Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR:D28-1008.
