Each observed nep or piece ofvegetable matter is classified by size, by visual comparisonwith a specified standard size chart. The numbe

8、rs of each classof neps and class of vegetable matter pieces, and the number ofcolored fibers, are recorded for each specimen. From these datathe average counts per specimen of 15 g are calculated.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test Method D1770 for the determination of neps,vegetable matter, and colore

9、d fiber may be used for theacceptance testing of commercial shipments of wool top butcaution is advised because the between-laboratory precision isknown to be poor. Comparative tests as directed in 5.1.1 maybe advisable.5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when

10、 using Test Method D1770 foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, the purchaser andthe supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine ifthere is a statistical bias between their laboratories. Competentstatistical assistance is recommended for the investigation ofbias. As a minimum, the

11、 two parties should take a group of testspecimens that are as homogeneous as possible and that arefrom a lot of material of the type in question. The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be

12、compared using Students t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability level chosen by thetwo parties before the testing is begun. If a bias is found, eitherits cause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results in the light ofthe kn

39、Precision and Bias12.1 IntroductionTest results are reported as the averagecounts of specified defects per 15-g specimen of wool top. Theprecision of test results is evaluated in terms of the total countof a specified defect for all specimens included in each testresult since such total counts have

40、a Poisson distribution whilethe average defect counts do not have such a distribution. If thetotal counts for actual test results include bias due to systematicsampling or testing errors, the critical differences in Table 1will be overly optimistic and the confidence limits in Table 2will be widened

41、 by the existence of such bias.12.2 Interlaboratory Test Data6An interlaboratory testwas run in 1976 in which randomly drawn samples of one ballof wool top were tested in each of five laboratories. Eachlaboratory used two operators, each of whom tested four6Supporting data have been filed at ASTM In

42、ternational Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting RR:D13-1038.D1770 94 (2012)14specimens of the material. The average count per 14-g speci-men were found to be: total neps, 40.5; total vegetable matterpieces, 9.5; colored fibers, 20.5. The test results indicatedsignificant differences betwee

43、n laboratories and between op-erators within laboratories for neps and colored fibers, andbetween laboratories for vegetable matter pieces.12.3 Critical DifferencesTable 1 contains criteria for de-termining whether the total defect counts for two test results,each based on the same number of specime

44、ns of a stated size,should be considered significantly different at the 95 % prob-ability level. No justifiable statement can be made about thebetween-laboratory precision of Test Method D1770 for testingthe number of neps, vegetable matter pieces, and colored fibersin wool top until the amount of b

45、ias, if any, between the twospecific laboratories has been established by comparisonsbased on recent data obtained on specimens randomly drawnfrom one sample of wool top of the type to be tested.12.4 Confidence LimitsTable 2 shows the 95 % confi-dence limits for the total count of a specified defect

46、 or group ofdefects in a single test result obtained as directed in TestMethod D1770.12.5 BiasThe true values for the count of neps, vegetablematter, and colored fiber in wool top can be defined only interms of a specific test method. Within this limitation, theprocedures in Test Method D1770 have n

47、o bias.12.5.1 Although the average results obtained by manyoperators in many laboratories should contain no bias, theresults of the interlaboratory test suggest that differencessometimes exist between operators or between laboratories.13.
