9、 Test Method4.1 A test specimen is ignited and burned in an air atmo-sphere at temperatures up to 600 C until only ash remains.After cooling, the residue is treated with sulfuric acid andheated to 800 C to constant weight. The residue remaining isidentified as sulfated ash.4.2 This test method is si

Precision and Bias15.1 An interlaboratory study was conducted in 2005 inwhich lithium cyclohexanebutyrate and calcium oxalate mono-hydrate

34、 were tested. Eight laboratories participated in the testusing seven instrument models from two manufacturers. AResearch Report is available from ASTM Headquarters.315.2 Precision:15.2.1 Within laboratory variability may be described usingthe repeatability value (r) obtained by multiplying the repea

35、t-ability standard deviation by 2.8. The repeatability valueestimates the 95 % confidence limit. That is, two results fromthe same laboratory should be considered suspect (at the 95 %confidence level) if they differ by more than the repeatabilityvalue.15.2.1.1 The within laboratory repeatability sta

36、ndard devia-tion for lithium in lithium cyclohexanebutyrate was 0.057 %(RSD of 1.5 %) with 20 degrees of experimental freedom.15.2.1.2 The within laboratory repeatability standard devia-tion for calcium in calcium oxalate monohydrate was 0.24 %(RSD of 0.92 %) with 20 degrees of experimental freedom.

37、15.2.2 Between laboratory variability may be describedusing the reproducibility value (R) obtained by multiplying thereproducibility standard deviation by 2.8. The reproducibilityvalues estimates the 95 % confidence limit. That is, two resultsobtained from different laboratories, operators or appara
