3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions as defined in GB/T 15000 (all parts) and the following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
Repeatability conditions
The conditions under which the same operator uses the same equipment in the same laboratory according to the same determination method to obtain independent test results from the same test subject in a short time.
3.2
Reproducibility conditions
Conditions under which different operators in different laboratories use different equipment but same determination method to obtain the test results from the same determination object.
3.3
Repeatability limit
A value, under the repeatability condition (3.1), the probability that the absolute difference between the two test results does not exceed this number is 95%.
4 Basic requirements for test
4.1 Number of tests and requirements
The number of tests for each determination is specified as two; the absolute difference between the two results is within the repeatability limit (Table 3, Table
4, Table 5). The average value of the two test results is used to indicate the determination result.
4.2 Representation of mass, volume, titer and results
Mass is expressed in "grams (g)" and is accurate to 0.0001 g. The volume of the burette is expressed in "milliliter (mL)"; the reading is accurate to 0.01 mL.
The titer is expressed in "milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL)".
4.3 Repeatability limit and reproducibility limit
The repeatability limits and reproducibility limits listed in this standard are absolute deviations, expressed in terms of mass fraction (%).
4.7 Checking chloride (silver nitrate inspection)
After washing the precipitate several times as required, use water to rinse the lower end of the funnel; continue using water to wash the filter paper and the precipitate; collect the filtrate in a test tube; add a few drops of silver nitrate solution (6.1.31); observe whether the solution in the test tube is turbid. If it is turbid, continue washing and testing until it is no longer turbid when checking by the use of silver nitrate.
4.8 General requirements for reagents
Unless otherwise specified, the reagents used shall not be lower than analytical grade; the reagents used for calibration shall be reference reagents. The water used shall not be lower than the requirements of the third-grade water as specified in GB/T 6682.
5 Preparation of specimens
Take sample according to the method of GB/T 12573.The sample sent to the laboratory shall be a representative uniform sample. The sample is divided to about 100 g by a quartering method or a divider. After sieving through a 150 µm square hole sieve, the debris is removed. After the sieve residue is ground, it is passed through a 150 µm square hole sieve.
