1、Designation: D3244 07aD3244 12 An American National StandardStandard Practice forUtilization of Test Data to Determine Conformance withSpecifications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3244; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,

2、 in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe properties of commercial petroleum products are measured by standardized lab

3、oratory testmethods to check their conformance to specifications. Two or more measurements of the sameproperty of a specific sample by any given test method usually will not give precisely the same answer.Therefore, the test methods generally include a paragraph on the precision of results. This pre

4、cisionis an expression of the reliability of the value of the measured property.Many difficulties that arise in interpreting specifications are due to test imprecision. Because of this,a true value of a property can never be determined exactly; and it is necessary to infer from measuredvalues the ra

5、nge within which the “true value” is likely to lie. The main purpose of this practice is toindicate how test imprecision should be interpreted relative to specification values.1. Scope Scope*1.1 This practice covers guidelines and statistical methodologies with which two parties, usually a supplier

6、and a receiver, cancompare and combine independently obtained test results to obtain an Assigned Test Value (ATV) for the purpose of resolving aproduct quality dispute.1.2 This practice defines a technique for comparing an assignedATV test value with a specification limit.1.3 This practice applies o

7、nly to those test methods which specifically state that the repeatability and reproducibility valuesconform to the definitions herein.1.4 The statistical principles and methodology outlined in this practice can also be used to obtain an ATV for specificationconformance decision when multiple results

8、 are obtained for the same batch of product within a single laboratory. For thisapplication, site precision (R) as defined in Practice D6299 shall be used in lieu of test method published reproducibility (R).2.

30、Report RR:D02-1007.D3244 1224. Significance and Use4.1 This practice provides a means whereby the parties to a transaction can resolve potential quality disputes over those productproperties which can be tested and expressed numerically.4.1.1 This practice can be used to ensure that such properties

31、are correctly stated on labels or in other descriptions of the product.4.1.2 This practice can be implemented in those cases where a supplier uses an in-house or a commercial testing laboratory tosample and test a product prior to releasing the product to a shipper (intermediate receiver) and the ul

32、timate receiver also uses anin-house or commercial testing laboratory to sample and test the product upon arrival at the destination. The assigned test value(ATV) would still be determined according to 8.3.4.2 This practice can assist in the determination of tolerances from specification limits whic

33、h will ensure that the true value ofa property is sufficiently close to the specification value with a mutually agreed probability so that the product is acceptable to thereceiver. Such tolerances are bounded by an acceptance limit (AL). ( AL). If the ATV value determined by applying this practicefa

34、lls on the AL or on the acceptable side of the AL, the product can be accepted; otherwise it shall be deemed to have failed theproduct acceptance requirement established by applying this practice.4.3 Application of this practice requires the AL be determined prior to actual commencement of testing.

35、Therefore, the degreeof criticality of the specification, as determined by the Probability ofAcceptance (Pvalue) that is required to calculate the AL, shallhave been mutually agreed upon between both parties prior to execution of actual product testing.4.3.1 This agreement should include a decision

36、as to whether the ATV is to be determined by the absolute or rounding-offmethod of Practice E29, as therein defined.4.3.1.1 If the rounding-off method is to be used, the number of significant digits to be retained must also be agreed upon.4.3.1.2 These decisions must also be made in the case where o

37、nly one party is involved, as in the case of a label.4.3.1.3 In the absence of such an agreement, this practice recommends the ATV be rounded in accordance with the rounding-offmethod in Practice E29 to the number of significant digits that are specified in the governing specification.4.4 This pract

38、ice is designed to be suitable for reference in contracts governing the transfer of petroleum products and lubricantsfrom a supplier to a receiver.4.5 As a prerequisite for acceptance for lab test results to be used in this practice, the following conditions shall be satisfied:4.5.1 Long-term standa

39、rd deviation Site precision (R) as defined in Practice D6299 for the appropriate test method(s) from eachlab, as substantiated by in-house quality control programs, on materialfor property typical of the product in dispute, shall bestatistically equivalent or should have a TPI 1.2 (see Practice D679

40、2 for TPI explanation), but at a minimum shall be better thanthe published method standard deviation under reproducibility conditions.reproducibility (R).4.5.2 Each lab shall be able to demonstrate, by way of results from interlaboratory exchange programs, a lack of a systemic biasrelative to exchan

41、ge averages for the appropriate test method(s). method(s) as per methodology outlined in Guide D7372.4.5.3 In the event that the long-term standard deviation for any partys laboratory is not statistically equivalent to each other,site precision of laboratories from two parties are statistically diff

42、erent as confirmed by the F-test (see Annex A4), then, for thepurpose of establishing the assigned test value (ATV,), each laboratorys test result(s)result shall be inversely weighted inaccordance with laboratorys demonstrated variance(s).variance.4.6 It is recommended that this practice be conducte

43、d under the guidance of a qualified statistician.5. Sampling5.1 Sampling should be carried out as specified in accordance with the referenced test method, contract, or specification for thepetroleum product under test, such as Practice D4057, or Practice D4177, or other referenced standards as appro

44、priate. Obtainenough sample to allow for all required determinations to be made. Divide the sample into three secondary samples: a receiversample, a supplier sample, and a retain sample. The retain sample should itself be large enough to permit further subdivision intothree portions in case addition

This section can also be used for acceptance or reje

47、ction of results of replicatetests by an operator. results.6.2 Significance of Repeatability (r):6.2.1 Acceptance of ResultsWhen only two results are obtained under conditions of repeatability and the difference is equalto or less than the repeatability of the method, the operator may report the ave

48、rage of the two results as being applicable to thesample tested.6.2.2 Rejection of ResultsWhen two results are obtained that differ by more than the repeatability of the method, both shouldbe rejected. Obtain two additional results immediately under conditions of repeatability. If the difference bet

49、ween these two resultsD3244 123is equal to or less than the repeatability of the method, the operator should report the average of the two as being applicable tothe sample tested. If, however, the difference so obtained again exceeds the repeatability, reject the results and investigate theapplication of the method.6.3 Significance of Reproducibility (R):6.3.1 Acceptance of ResultsWhen two results are obtained and comprise one result from each laboratory (Note 12), if thedifference is equal to or less than the reproducibility of the method, then both
