Procedure7.1 Equip the vac with a new filter.7.2 Weigh the empty vac including the power supply cord.(Do not include the hose or any accessories.)7.3 Unit must be on a level surface and the shut-off

Maintain a water pick up rate of 2gal/min throughout the filling cycle.7.7 Collect water with the vac until either one of thefollowin
11、g occurs:7.7.1 The unit stops collecting water, or7.7.2 Water overflows from the vac.7.8 Stop unit and disconnect hose from the vac. Any waterremaining in the hose shall not be included in the maximumfunctional volume.7.9 Weigh the filled vac, including the power supply cord.7.10 Calculate the maxim

Theaverage of the three tests represents the maximum wet func-tional volume that the utility vac is capable of collecting.8. Precision and Bias28.1 PrecisionThese statem
15、ents are based on an interlabo-ratory test involving six laboratories and four units. The rangeof maximum functional volume of the units was from 3.8 to13.5 gal.8.1.1 Repeatability (Single-Operator-Laboratory, Multi-day):8.1.1.1 Repeatability for wet volume values of 5 gal andunder, within a laborat

Two values from asample of three should be considered suspect (at the 95 %confidence level) if they differ by more than 12.8 %.NOTE 2The percent difference = (larger smaller)/(larger) 3 100.8.1.1.2 Repeatability for

DETERMINATION OF 90 % CONFIDENCE INTERVALX1.1 The most common and ordinarily the best singleestimate of the population mean is simply the arithmeticmean of the measurements. When a sam
22、ple is taken from apopulation, the sample average will seldom be exactly thesame as the population average; however, it is hoped to befairly close so that the statement of confidence interval willbracket the true mean.X1.2 The following procedure gives an interval which isexpected to bracket , the t
