3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 8075-2017 and the following apply.
3.1
repeatability conditions
independent testing conditions on the same test object in a short period of time in the same laboratory with the same equipment by the same operator according to the same testing method
[Source: GB/T 8075-2017, 6.7]
3.2
reproducibility conditions
independent testing conditions on the same test object in different laboratories with the different equipment by the different operators according to the same testing method
[Source: GB/T 8075-2017, 6.8]
3.3
repeatability limit
value delimiting a probability of 95% that the absolute difference of two test results is less than or equal to it under the repeatability conditions (3.1)
[Source: GB/T 3358.2-2009, 3.3.9]
3.4
reproducibility limit
value delimiting a probability of 95% that the absolute difference of two test results is less than or equal to it under the reproducibility conditions (3.2)
[Source: GB/T 3358.2-2009, 3.3.14]
4 Test conditions
4.1 Number of tests and requirements
4.1.1 The number of tests for determination of each chemical property shall be two. The absolute difference between the two results shall be within the repeatability limit. The mean of the two test results shall be used to express the test result. If the absolute difference between the two results exceeds the repeatability limit, it is necessary to carry out the third determination in a short time, eliminate the data exceeding the repeatability limit, and take the mean of the other two data. If the third data is within the two values, the mean of the three test results shall be used to express the test result. Unless otherwise specified, if the deviations of three results all exceed the repeatability limit, the test shall be conducted again.
4.1.2 During routine production control analysis, determination of each chemical property by a single test shall be the minimum required.
4.1.3 The water used in this document shall not be lower than the requirements of Grade III water specified in GB/T 6682-2008, except the fluidity of cement paste and the water-reducing rate of cement mortar.
