Calculation9.1 Measure the areas of all aromatic and internal standardpeaks. Use of an electronic integrator is recommended toobtain the best

42、 accuracy and precision.NOTE 5Because the C8and heavier aromatic compounds may not becompletely resolved, peak height multiplied by one half width or retentiontime must not be used as a means of measuring the area.9.2 If a different attenuation is used for part of the chro-matogram, correct to a con

Precision and Bias411.1 The precision estimates are based on an interlaboratorystudy on four samples, containing approximately 6.5, 8.5, 11.8,and 16.5 % total aromatics and 0.0, 1.0, 4.0, and 0.3 %ethylbenzene.

47、One analyst in each of six laboratories per-formed duplicate determinations on different days, for a total of48 determinations of total aromatics content and 48 determi-nations of ethylbenzene content. The within-laboratory coeffi-cient of variation was found to be 1.7 % relative with 23 df,and the

48、between-laboratories coefficient of variation was 4.4 %relative with 5 df. Based on these coefficients the followingcriteria should be used for judging the acceptability of resultsat the 95 % confidence level.11.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo results obtained by the sameoperator on different days should be co
