Precision and Bias 13.1 Two interlaboratory tests have been run for these tensile properties. The first was run for modulus only, in 1977, in which randomly drawn samples of four thin (; 0.025 mm (0.001-in.)) materials were tested with five specimens in each laboratory. Elastic (tangent) modulus measurements were made by six laboratories, and secant (1 %) modulus measurements were taken by five laboratories. The relative precision obtained in this interlaboratory study is in Table 2. 13.1.1 In deriving the estimates in Table 2, statistical outliers were not removed, in keeping with Practice E 691.9 13.1.2 The within-lab standard deviation of a mean value, S x? , in each case was determined from the standard deviation, S x? , of the five individual specimens as follows: S x? = Sx /(5)1?2. The S x? values were pooled among laboratories for a given material to obtain the within-lab standard deviation, Sr , of a test result (mean of five specimens). See 13.3-13.3.2 for definitions of terms in the tables. 13.2 An interlaboratory test was run for all the other tensile properties except modulus in 1981, in which randomly drawn samples of six materials (one of these in three thicknesses) ranging in thickness from 0.019 to 0.178 mm (0.00075 to 0.007 in.) were tested in seven laboratories. A test result was defined as the mean of five specimen determinations. However, each laboratory tested eight specimens, and the S x? was determined from S x? = Sx /(5)1?2 as above. This was done to improve the quality of the statistics while maintaining their applicability to a five-specimen test result. The materials and their thicknesses are identified in Tables 3-7, each of which contain data for one of the following properties: tensile yield stress, yield elongation, tensile strength, tensile elongation at break, and tensile 9 Supporting data are available from ASTM Headquarters.
