Precision and Bias411.1 Table 1 is based on a round robin involving sevenlaboratories and conducted in 2002 in accordance with PracticeE 180. Al
25、l 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. Each test result was the averageof two individual determinations. Each laboratory made du
26、pli-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 approximate precision of this test method. Donot apply rigorously the data in Table 1 to the accepta
27、nce 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 principles outlined in Practice E 180 or E 691 togenerate data specific to their laboratory and mate
28、rials 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, using the sameequipment on the same day. The two replicate results shall bejudged not equival

The two test results shall bejudged
30、not equivalent if they differ by more than the R valuefor that material.4Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR: D201239. The precision estimatesare based on an interlaboratory study performed in 2002 on four samples of
