3、.1. Scope1.1 This test method determines the molar composition ofcopolymers prepared from ethylene (ethene) and a secondalkene-1 monomer. This second monomer can include propene,butene-1, hexene-1, octene-1, and 4-methylpentene-1.1.2 Calculations of this test method are valid for productscontaining

4、units EEXEE, EXEXE, EXXE, EXXXE, and ofcourse EEE where E equals ethene and X equals alkene-1.Copolymers containing a considerable number of alkene-1blocks (such as, longer blocks than XXX) are outside the scopeof this test method.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concer

Adjust partial integrals so that in

24、tegralof the second largest peak in the spectrum is at least 50 % offull-scale. This partial integral must be flat before and after thearea to be measured.NOTE 8The combination of sample preparation time and acquisitiontime necessary to obtain the signal-to-noise requirement of 9.4 can lead toprohib

25、itively long experiments if samples are run multiplicatively. It isacceptable to perform sample determinations using a single analysis.Duplicate runs in accordance with 13.1 were performed for the round-robin exercise.11.

27、ion time (10 s) and pulse angle(90), the maximum allowable relaxation time (T1) for carbons used forquantitative analysis is 2 s. To shorten the analysis time, a shorter pulserepetition time can be used if one accounts for the relaxation timedifferences. Relaxation times of carbons for the five copo

28、lymers weredetermined at a carbon frequency of 50 MHz using the inversion recoverymethod.9, 10Annex A4 summarizes these relaxation times and correctionfactors (reciprocal of the relative intensities) for a 4-s repetition time (TR).With the shorter TR, multiply integrals by these correction factors b

Precision and Bias13.1 Table 2 is based on a round robin11conducted in 1988in accordance with Practice E 691, involving nine materialstested by six laboratories. For each material, a

33、ll the sampleswere prepared at one source, but the individual specimens wereprepared at the laboratories that tested them. Each “test result”was the average of two individual determinations. Each labo-ratory obtained one test result for each material.NOTE 10Caution: The following explanations of r a

34、nd R (13.2-13.2.3) are only intended to present a meaningful way of considering theapproximate precision of this test method. The data in Table 2 should notbe rigorously applied to acceptance or rejection of material, as those dataare specific to the round robin and may not be representative of othe

35、r lots,conditions, materials, or laboratories. Users of this test method shouldapply the principles outlined in Practice E 691 to generate data specific totheir laboratory and materials, or between specific laboratories. Theprinciples of 13.2-13.2.3 would then be valid for such data.13.2 Concept of

36、r and RIf Srand SRhave been calculatedfrom a large enough body of data, and for test results that wereaverages from testing two specimens:13.2.1 RepeatabilityTwo test results obtained within onelaboratory shall be judged not equivalent if they differ by morethan the “r” value for that material; “r”

37、is the intervalrepresenting the critical difference between two test results forthe same material, obtained by the same operator using thesame equipment on the same day in the same laboratory.13.2.2 Reproducibility Limit, R (Comparing Two Test Re-sults for the Same Material, Obtained by Different Op
