A

2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEditorially corrected Footnote 3 and corresponding references in August 2011.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers a procedure for usingASTM Standard

3、Reference Blacks2(SRBs) to continuously monitor the preci-sion of those carbon black test methods for which standardvalues have been established. It also offers guidelines fortroubleshooting various test methods.1.2 This guide establishes the x-chart control limits to beused when continuously monito

4、ring those tests listed in Section2. Alternatively, these control limits may be used as a basis forcomparison to testing precision computed within a laboratory.1.3 This guide uses statistical control chart methodology asdiscussed in MNL73to determine if a laboratorys test resultsdiffer significantly

5、 from the accepted values of the SRBs.1.4 This guide provides a statistical procedure for improv-ing test reproducibility when a laboratory cannot physicallycalibrate its apparatus to obtain the standard values of theASTM SRBs, within the ranges given in the precision state-ment of the test method.1

The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appr

13、tory Standards notto all the tests in Table 1 or Table 2.5.10 When it becomes necessary to use a statistical correc-tion factor, all the SRBs for the range of interest (A-F or A-G)must be used to develop the linear regression equation, even ifsome of the SRBs fall outside the range of interest. At l

14、eastfour 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 laboratories. For the oil absorption test (Tes

15、t MethodD2414), 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 equation to obtain corrected valuesfor the

16、 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 equation using the most recent test data, exclu

17、dingthe 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 6)brings the SRBs back inside the three

18、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” values to be used in a linearregression equa

19、tion.5.15 This procedure prescribes only the minimum actionneeded to continuously monitor test precision.Additional SRBtesting may be done and correction equations regularly recal-culated at individual discretion.5.16 Discontinue using a statistical correction equationwhen new or repaired test equip

20、ment 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 have again beensatisfied.6. Assignable

A statistical correction factor pe

Precision and Bias9.1 The bias of testing an SRB for certain tests may bedetermined by taking an average, x, of the most recent 20 to 30test results for a test (corrected, uncorrected, or both)

36、 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 significantly reduce the uncertainty.9.2 The precision of t
