INTRODUCTION

The Collaborative Reference Program for Containerboard is

cosponsored by the Fourdrinier Kraft Board Group (FKBG) of the

American Paper Institute, Inc. and the National Bureau of

Standards. The program is maintained and operated by Collaborative

Testing Services, Inc. (CTS). CTS is a non-profit organization of

associations that offers CRPs to a wide range of industries.

Samples of three weights of linerboard, nominally 26 lb, 42 lb, and

69 lb and of corrugating medium (26 lb) are separately randomized

from uniform narrow rolls and packaged for distribution to the

participants. Each month, sufficient test material for four weekly

tests is mailed to participants for testing Mullen bursting

strength according to TAPPI official testing method T807 os-75 or Concora flat crush strength according to TAPPI official testing

method T809 os-71. The participants return their test results to

NBS for analysis and receive two monthly reports from NBS. One

report is a preliminary individualized report comparing a

laboratory's results with the industrial mean. The other is a longer report (as illustrated by this report) showing the data from

all participants.

If there are any questions on the notes, the analyses, or the

reports in general, contact Thomas L. Cunmings or Jeffrey Horlick

on (301) 921-2946.

EXPLANATION OF TABLES

Each table shows laboratory test results for Mullen bursting strength

of linerboard or Concora flat crush strength of corrugating medium.

The data are divided into three time spans. On the left of each table

is an analysis for each week of the month. In the center is cumulative

data for the month and on the right is cumulative data for up to 16

weeks.

Conservative statistical tests have been used in excluding extreme

data from the analyses. Thus, where the mean (average) for one laboratory is compared with the average for many laboratories, limits have

been used that would exclude only one laboratory in a hundred if all

laboratories followed exactly the same testing procedure. Consequently,

laboratories receiving "X" flags should review their testing procedures,

instrument calibration, and control processes. Similar conservative

criteria were used in flagging within- laboratory standard deviations

and other statistics.

lab means this month

WEEKLY VALUES : CODE V WK-1 WK-2 WK-3 WK-4

LAB CODE - Confidential laboratory identification number known only to the

participant and the Collaborative Reference Program staff.

V - Code for indicating instrument type, units used, and any other

variation in test procedure or conditions. A '+' in this column

means a non-standard variation. Data marked '+' are not included

in the combined averages for all laboratories, (see page 4).

MEANS THIS MONTH - For each laboratory each weekly mean is the average of

individual test determinations, usually an average of 20

determinations

.

FLAGS (following means and standard deviations) -

X - Data excluded from an AV MEAN or average standard deviation

because value deviated from the AV MEAN or average standard

deviation by more than 2.576 times the appropriate standard

deviation. A laboratory following the prescribed test method

could obtain such an extreme value by chance only one time in

a hundred . Corrective action is almost certainly required .

* ~ Data included in the CUMULATIVE AV MEAN but the value deviated

from this mean by more than 1.960 and less that 2.576 times the

SD CUM MEAN. A laboratory following the prescribed test method

could obtain such an extreme value by chance only one time in

twenty. Corrective action may be desired.

1
s - This is a warning to the laboratory but does not affect inclusion

or exclusion of the laboratory's results from the corresponding

AV MEAN. This flag indicates an extremely high or low within-laboratory standard deviation (SDR, not shown) that could occur by

chance only one time in a hundred if the laboratory is following

the prescribed test method.

AV MEAN - (at bottom of table) - The average for the indicated week of the

means for all laboratories, except those laboratories marked '+' in column V and those means marked with an 'X'.

SDR - (not shown) - The standard deviation of within-laboratory measurements; i.e., the Standard Deviation of the Replicate measurements

made at one time in one laboratory on one package of test "pieces.

AV SDR - The average for the indicated week of the SDR's of all the laboratories, except those omitted from the AV MEAN. Also an extremely

high or low SDR as compared with the AV SDR based on the remaining

laboratories is omitted from the AV SDR and the letter 'S' is

placed after the laboratory mean for that week. The AV SDR is an index of the within-laboratory precision for repeated measurements;

i.e., a measure of the ability of an average laboratory to repeat

its results over a short period of time. It includes measurement

error and sample variation.

SD LABS - For each week the standard deviation of the means about the AV MEAN

for that week after omitting those means marked with an 'X' or noted '+' in column V. The SD LABS is an index of the among-labora

tory precision of the test method as applied by the participating

laboratories; i.e., a measure of the ability of laboratories to get

comparable results.

NO. INCL • The number of laboratory means included in the AV MEAN for that

week.

NO. OMIT -- The number of laboratory means reported but omitted from AV MEAN

because of non-standard equipment, environment or procedure ('+' in

column V) or because of extreme results (X following mean)

.

NOT RCD - The number of laboratories failing to report data on time or in

usable form for this week (but who reported data for at least one of the other weeks of this month) , or who received test pieces

from a different sample of material and whose data therefore are shown in another table of this report.

SD SHTS - (Concora only) The average for the indicated week of the amongsheet within-laboratory standard deviations. The SD SHTS is an index primarily of the variability among sheets.

THIS MONTH

VALUES THIS MONTH: MEAN SDR SDWKS

MEAN - The average for the indicated laboratory of the reported weekly

MEANS THIS MONTH.

SDR - The average for the indicated laboratory of the weekly SDRs for

the current month.

SDWKS - For the indicated laboratory, the standard deviation among the

laboratory's weekly MEANS THIS MONTH (including those means

marked with an ' X

' )

.

CUMULATIVE

CUMULATIVE VALUES: MEAN SDR SDWKS WKS

MEAN - The average for the indicated laboratory of all its weekly means

for the number of weeks indicated, including those for the current

month. An or 'X' following this CUMULATIVE MEAN indicates the

laboratory is running consistently low or high. (See above for

explanation of these flags)

.

SDR - The average for the indicated laboratory of the weekly SDRs for

the indicated number of weeks.

SDWKS - For the indicated laboratory, the standard deviation among the

laboratory's weekly means (including those means marked with an

'X'). SDWKS is an index of the week to week precision; i.e., a measure of the ability of a laboratory to repeat its results from

week to week.

WKS - Number of weeks for which usable results have been reported by

that laboratory. At most, 16 weeks of data are included.

GRAND AVERAGES

GRAND AVERAGES : THIS MONT H CUMULATIVE 12 WEEKS

THIS MONTH - Averages for the four weeks of the quantities shown to the left.

CUMULATIVE - Averages for the indicated number of weeks, including the four

weeks of the current month.

3
AV SDWKS - The average of the SDWKS for all laboratories excluding those

marked '+' in column V or with an ' X' following the corre- sponding THIS MONTH or CUMULATIVE MEAN or SDWKS.

SD CUM MEAN - The larger of either (1) the standard deviation of the

CUMULATIVE MEANS about the average CUMULATIVE MEAN after

omitting those CUMULATIVE MEANS marked with an ' X' or with

a *+' in column V, or (2) the CUMULATIVE SD LABS divided by

the square root of the number of weeks cumulated. The

former will be appreciably larger than the latter only when

there are persistent systematic differences among the

laboratories

Use of Average Mean as a Reference Standard

A large supply of linerboard in three weights was randomized and placed

in sealed packages ready for shipment. The supply for each weight of

board was divided into several narrow "rolls" or cross-machine "positions"

of a larger roll, and each position was separately randomized. Each

package contains test pieces from one position only. The position is

designated by the number following the letter in the code marked on the

package. Thus 42H 1_ indicates that this package contains 42 lb board

from position 1 of lot H. Samples from the first position are distributed

until exhausted, then from the second position, and so forth for each

weight of board. Thus for short periods of time (several weeks to months)

,

the samples that the participants test are from the same position of a lot,

and for a longer period from the same lot.

The three weights of linerboard distributed in this program may be used as reference standards. The best reference values are the cumulative grand

AV MEANs in the latest reports. These values are given at the bottom right

of each table. For each weight of board, comparisons should be made first

for measurements made on the same position, i.e., for checking your current

measurement, use grand AV MEANs that have the same position code as on the

packages being tested. The position is shown in the upper left corner of

the table. If no report is yet available on the current position, grand

AV MEANs from previously tested positions of the same lot may be used as approximate reference values.

Similarly a large supply of a 26 lb corrugating medium was randomized,

after dividing into several narrow rolls or positions. The above

discussion for linerboard also applies to the corrugating medium.

We are currently using the fourth lot of linerboard and the fourth

lot of corrugating medium:

16. ABSTRACT (A 200-word or less factual summary of most significant information. If document includes a significant bibliography or

literature survey, mention it here.)

Collaborative Reference Programs provide participating laboratories with the means for checking periodically the level and uniformity of their testing

in comparison with that of other participating laboratories. An important

by-product of the programs is the provision of realistic pictures of the state

of the testing art. This is one of the periodic reports showing averages

for each participant, within and between laboratory variability, and other

information for participants and standards committees.
