This saves the cost and delay of conducting aninterlaboratory study.4.2 At the heart of stat

18、 percent air voids inpaving mixtures by using values obtained from Test MethodsD1188 and D2041. Both of these test methods have precisionstatements so a precision statement can be calculated for TestMethod D3203.X1.2 Calculating Air Voids:X1.2.1 The equation for calculating air voids is:Percent air

19、voids 5 100 1 2 bulk sp gr/theoretical maximum sp gr!(X1.1)The bulk specific gravity of Test Method D1188 is dividedby the theoretical maximum specific gravity of Test MethodD2041. Therefore, Eq 3 involving a quotient is the proper oneto use in determining a precision statement for air voids.X1.2.2

20、Test Method D1188 has one of the older precisionstatements which does not give the standard deviation but onlygives the D2S limit for multilaboratory precision. The testingoperations in Test Methods D1188 and D2041 are very similarso it is not surprising that the D2S limits for multilaboratoryprecis

Therefore, the tablefor nonporous aggregate from Test Method D2041 is used asthe basis for both test methods as follows:Standard DeviationAcceptable Range ofTwo ResultsTest and type index (1S) (D2S)Single-opera

23、ulate the single-operator preci-sion standard deviation for these specific gravity values.Standard deviation for Test Method D3203 is as follows:Single-operator precision: xy52.523!20.004!212.423!20.004!22.523!4(X1.2)= 0.0022Multilaboratory precision: xy52.523!20.0064!212.423!20.0064!22.523!4(X1.3)=

24、 0.0035These standard deviations are in terms of specific gravity.Since Test Method D3203 is reported in percent they must bemultiplied by 100 to get the required percentages yielding thefollowing values:StandardDeviationRange ofTwo ResultsTest and Type Index (1S %) (D2S %)Single-operator precision
