ASTM RR-E01-1126 2017 PDF

Full title and description

St ASTM RR-E01-1126 2017 — ASTM Research Report RR:E01-1126 (2017). This research report documents an interlaboratory study and supporting data that establish the precision statement for ASTM E3061, the Test Method for Analysis of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (performance‑based method).

Abstract

This research report presents the protocol, raw data, statistical analysis, and precision/bias determination produced by an interlaboratory study used to support ASTM E3061. The study (reported 2017) summarizes participating laboratories, sample descriptions, laboratory instructions, apparatus and methods (ICP‑AES), and the statistical methods used to derive repeatability and reproducibility statements.

Scope

This report documents an interlaboratory study that establishes the precision (repeatability and reproducibility) statement for ASTM E3061, the ICP‑AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry) performance‑based test method for the analysis of aluminum and aluminum alloys. The report includes sampling descriptions, laboratory instructions, apparatus lists, raw results, and statistical summaries used to support the E3061 precision statement.

Key topics and requirements

• Interlaboratory study design and protocol (participating laboratories, sample panels, instructions).
• Performance‑based ICP‑AES method implementation for aluminum/alloy analysis.
• Raw data reporting formats and apparatus/equipment descriptions.
• Statistical analysis to derive repeatability and reproducibility (precision and bias) statements.
• Guidance for applying the E3061 precision statement in laboratory quality control and method validation.

Typical use and users

Used by analytical laboratories, quality assurance/quality control professionals, metallurgical and materials engineers, and standards committees who perform or evaluate chemical analyses of aluminum and aluminum alloys by ICP‑AES. The report supports method validation, interlaboratory comparability, and the application of the E3061 precision statement in contractual or regulatory contexts.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: This item is not a typical consensus standard text but an ASTM Research Report (RR:E01-1126) published in 2017 that documents the interlaboratory study and data used to establish the precision statement for ASTM E3061.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the full interlaboratory study package: sample panel description, laboratory instructions, equipment/apparatus lists, raw measurement results, and the statistical analysis that produced repeatability and reproducibility statements for E3061 (ICP‑AES analysis of aluminum/alloys).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Analytical testing laboratories, method developers, quality managers, and standards users who need the precision and validation evidence underlying ASTM E3061. It is also used by committees and auditors assessing method performance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The research report was published in 2017 to support E3061. Research reports themselves are archival documents supporting a specific standard edition; users should confirm the current status of the associated standard (E3061) and any later revisions of the method when applying the precision statement.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of ASTM’s Research Reports series produced by Committee E01 (Analytical Chemistry/chemical analysis of metals and alloys). It is indexed in the RR:E01 sequence and grouped with other research reports that support E01 test methods.

Q: What are the key keywords?
