Significance and Use3.1 One of the major causes of poor test precision is

11、 the lackof calibration or standardization of instruments, apparatus,reagents, and technique among laboratories. The sum of allsources of testing error is unique for an individual laboratory.A least-squares regression of a laboratorys actual test valuesfor reference materials to the established mean

12、 values willresult in a unique least-squares regression line (and equation)for that laboratory. Generally, there are two reasons for usingthe SRBs in testing: (1) to monitor testing performance (seeSection 4) to ensure that no systematic error or bias is affecting1This guide is under the jurisdictio

15、all outside the range of interest. At leastfour values (six preferred) should be used for each SRB. Anequal number of results must be used for each SRB. If theseinstructions are not followed, the correction equation will notbe comparable to the corrections made for other instrumentsand other laborat

16、ories. For the oil absorption test (Test MethodD 2414), it is acceptable to develop a separate linear regressionequation for the tread (A-C) and carcass (D-F) SRBs.5.11 Continuously monitor the selected SRBs and use themost current data to construct the correction equation.5.12 Use the correction eq

17、uation to obtain corrected valuesfor the SRBs and plot the corrected values until the controllimit is exceeded. When a test value exceeds the control limit,perform a retest immediately, and if the average of the tworemains outside the control limit, then recalculate the statisticalcorrection equatio

18、n using the most recent test data, excludingthe value that was outside the control limit, for each selectedSRB.5.13 If the corrected data using the new correction equationstill fall outside the control limits, then no further use should bemade of the test method until corrective action (see Section

19、6)brings the SRBs back inside the three standard deviationcontrol chart limits.5.14 Apply this procedure only to the interpretation of SRBtest data. If problems exist, correct them before making furtheruse of the test method. “Local reference” materials do not haveestablished “industry average” valu

21、 equationwhen new or repaired test equipment is put into service, a newlot of SRBs are purchased and put into use, or other correctiveactions yield uncorrected test results that fall within the controllimits. Resume using a statistical correction equation onlywhen the conditions of Section 4 and 5.1

Guide to Accepted Normalization Practices for CarbonBlack Test Methods7.1 Accepted normalization practices for test methods foundin Classification D 1765 are described below:D48210767.1.1 Test Method D 1510, Iodine NumberShould notrequire no

31、rmalization. A statistical correction factor per Sec-tion 5 using the values in Table 1 or Table 2 shall not be useddue to the known phenomenon that the iodine number candecrease due to aging. See Fig. 3 for an example of sampleaging. The SRB HT materials are specially prepared carbonblacks that hav

32、e been shown to have stable iodine numbervalues over a period of many years. If normalization isrequired, it shall be done using only the SRB HT materials.7.1.2 Test Method D 1513, Pour DensityNo normaliza-tion required.7.1.3 Test Method D 2414, Oil AbsorptionThe only nor-malization that is required

33、 is using the tread or carcass SRBs asdiscussed in the test method.7.1.4 Test Method D 3265, Tint StrengthThe only normal-ization that is required is using the ITRB as discussed in thetest method. Normalization to the SRBs is not recommended.7.1.5 Test Method D 3493, Oil Absorption of CompressedSamp

37、est results for a test (corrected, uncorrected, or both) andcalculating the bias or difference from the ASTM acceptedvalue ( x xASTM). To reduce the uncertainty associated withthe mean value, at least 20 data points should be used toestimate the mean value. Using more than 30 data points doesnot sig
