33、y of 13.3 of Specification D6817, con-ducted in 2011.Atotal of seven laboratories participated in thisstudy, testing three materials at 1 %, 5 %, and 10 % compres-sive resistance. Each “test result” reported represents anindividual determination, and all participants were asked toreport five test re

34、sults for each area tested. Practice E691 wasfollowed for the design and analysis of the data; the details aregiven in ASTM Research Report No. RR: D35-1014.14.1.1 Repeatability limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent if theydiffer by more than the “r”

35、value for that material; “r” is theinterval representing the critical difference between two testresults for the same material, obtained by the same operatorusing the same equipment on the same day in the samelaboratory.14.1.1.1 Repeatability limits are listed in Tables 3-5.14.1.2 Reproducibility li

37、14.1.2.1 Reproducibility limits are listed in Tables 3-5.14.1.3 The above terms (repeatability limit and reproduc-ibility limit) are used as specified in Practice E177.14.1.4 Any judgment made in accordance with statements14.1.1 and 14.1.2 would have an approximate 95 % probabilityof being correct.1

38、4.2 BiasAs there were no available standard referencematerials at the time of this study, bias cannot be determined.14.3 The precision statement was determined through sta-tistical examination of 315 test results, submitted by sevenlaboratories, recording compressive resistance measurementsof three

39、materials.14.3.1 The three materials were all described as expandedpolystyrene.14.4 To judge the equivalency of two test results, it isrecommended to choose the material that is closest in charac-teristics to the test material.15.
