Selection of Specimen6.1 Select a specimen of approximately 10 to 50 g of theglass spheres to be tested for roundness in one of the followingways:6.1.1 By mechani

16、cally splitting a bag or other container ofglass spheres, selected at random from the shipment to betested, or6.1.2 By grain or seed-rod selection from the container.6.1.3 The final sample for testing must be obtained using theappropriate sample splitters or reducers. Arrive as near aspossible to th

17、e desired sample quantity for testing by onlyusing this equipment.6.1.4 When there is a need to obtain the highest degree ofaccuracy possible the operator should use a sample size that isclosest to the 50 g size limit. In cases where there are disputesbetween the results obtained by two or more test

18、ing parties themaximum sample size should be used in order to settle thedispute.7. Procedure A7.1 Sieve the selected specimen through a 300-m (No. 50)sieve (Note 2). Run the spheres retained on the sieve as onegroup, and run the spheres passing the sieve as a second group.NOTE 2Detailed requirements

19、 for ASTM sieves are given in Speci-fication E11. The purchaser or specifying agency may require alternativesieve sizes to be used in lieu of the above reference sizes.7.2 Level the glass panel; then set the angle of the roundo-meter plate to the 300-m (50 U.S. Sieve) setting of 2.3degrees (from the

20、 table in Fig. 2) using a digital level. Affix thefeed hopper to the side of the panel at the upper one-third pointof the slope, so that the spheres may be dropped in a uniformmonolayer onto the glass panel from a height of approximately 13 mm (12 in.).Alternatively, the material may be manually fed

30、to be used in lieu of the above reference sizes in thedetermination of roundness.8.2 Level the glass panel; then set the angle of the roundo-meter plate to the value indicated in Table 1 for the sievefraction being tested. For example, the sieve fraction passingthe 600 m Sieve (No. 30) and retained

31、on the 425 m Sieve(No. 40), the 425 m (No. 40) Sieve setting should be used (1.5degrees).Affix the feed hopper over the center line of the panel,at the upper one-third point of the slope, with the feed endup-slope and approximately 13 mm (12 in.) from the glasspanel. Alternatively, the material may

Set thevibrator amplitude control at such a posi

Feed slowly, at such arate that no “bunching up” or flooding of spheres on the paneloccurs.8.4 When the glass panel is well covered with spheres, stopfeeding until separation o

Stop thevibrator and, after all true spheres have rolled down the slopeinto the sphere pan, brush or scrape all particles remaining onthe panel into the upper pan containing the irregular particles.For purposes of this test, all particles not rolling freely downthe slope

43、terlaboratory study of Test Method D1155, Test Method forRoundness of Glass Spheres, conducted in 2008. Five labora-tories participated in this study. Each of the labs reportedtriplicate test results for a single material. Every “test result”reported represents an individual determination. Except fo

44、r theuse of data from only five laboratories and a single material,Practice E691 was followed for the design and analysis of thedata; the details are given in the appropriate Research Report.10.1.1 Repeatability Limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent i

45、f theydiffer by more than the “r” value for that material, “r”istheinterval representing the critical difference between two testresults for the same material, obtained by the same operatorusing the same equipment on the same day in the samelaboratory.10.1.2 Reproducibility Limit (R)Two test results

46、 shall bejudged not equivalent if they differ by more than the “R” valuefor that material; “R” is the interval representing the criticaldifference between two test results for the same material,obtained by different operators using different equipment indifferent laboratories.10.1.2.1 Reproducibilit

47、y limits are listed in Table 1.10.1.3 The above terms (repeatability limit and reproduc-ibility limit) are used as specified in Practice E177.10.1.4 Any judgment in accordance with statement 10.1.2would normally have an approximate 95 % probability ofbeing correct, however the precision statistics o

48、btained in thisILS must not be treated as exact mathematical quantities whichare applicable to all circumstances and uses. The limitednumber of laboratories reporting results guarantees that therewill be times when differences greater than predicted by theILS results will arise, sometimes with consi

49、derably greater orsmaller frequency than the 95 % probability limit would imply.The reproducibility limit should be considered as a generalguide, and the associated probability of 95 % as only a roughindicator of what can be expected.10.2 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 being made.10.3 The precision statement was determined through sta-tistical examination of 75 results, from five laboratories, on asingle material.11.
