INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes the test results for the second quarter of 1978.

The tests cover the four areas in the NBS Collaborative Reference

Programs for Rubber: Tensile Properties, Hardness, Mooney Viscosity,

and Vulcanization Properties.

For each of the four areas, there is a set of summary tables followed

by a table of data and analysis by laboratory and a graphical presentation of the data and analysis. Where applicable, the tables of data have

the English and Metric expressions side-by-side. Additional details are given in the section "Key to Tables and Graphs."

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

reports in general, contact Jeffrey Horlick (301) 921-2946.

KEY TO TABLES AND GRAPHS

LAB CODE

F

MEAN

% DEV

REL SDR

VAR CODE

GR MEAN

SD MEANS

Confidential laboratory identification number known only

to the participant and the Collaborative Reference Program

staff

A flag identifying results that are extreme in comparison

with the other results.

- The plotted point for the indicated laboratory lies

outside of the 99% error ellipse (not shown); ie,

assuming normal distribution, 99% of laboratories

similar to those participating in the program will

be represented by points lying within the 99% ellipse.

- The plotted point for the indicated laboratory lies

outside of the 95% error ellipse shown on graphs, but

inside the 99% ellipse.

The arithmetic average of the two median values for the two

sheets or samples of the same material.

The deviation or difference of the laboratory MEAN from the

GR. MEAN (see below) , expressed as a percent of the

GR. MEAN.

The ratio of the SDR (standard deviation of replicate measurements within a laboratory) to the AVER SDR (see below) . Extreme values, ie, values that are likely to occur by chance

less than one time in a hundred as determined by the chisquare test, are marked with an "X".

A code number designating a particular test instrument, set

of environmental conditons, procedure, unit used, or other

variation. The code "01" designates the instrument, conditions

and procedure specified at the top of the page either explicitly

or in the cited ASTM Standard, and the unit of test shown at the

top of the first column of data. A '+' in front of the VAR CODE

indicates that the data has been excluded from the grand means

due to a non-standard variation of the possibilities mentioned

above, or the data is extreme.

The arithmetic average (grand mean) of all the laboratory MEAN

values, excluding those flagged (F) with an "X".

The standard deviation among the laboratory MEAN values included in the GR. MEAN.

2
AVER SDR The arithmetic average of all the standard deviations of

within laboratory replication, excluding those excluded

from the GR. MEAN and excluding any additional ones for

which the REL SDR has been flagged.

GRAPH

For each laboratory the MEAN for the second material is plotted against

the MEAN for the first material, with each point representing a laboratory. The horizontal and vertical lines are the GR. MEAN values. The

dashed line is drawn at 45°. The solid sloping line, which may or may

not lie close to the 45° line, is the major axis of the ellipse. The

ellipse is drawn so that, on the average, it will include 95% of the

points representing the laboratories. The plotted symbols X and * used to

represent results falling outside the ellipse are explained under "F"

above. Laboratories inside the ellipse (no flag in the F column) are plotted as an 0.

The graph is plotted with an ellipse when there are 20 or more laboratories

in the analysis. When there are 10 through 19 laboratories in the analysis,

the graph is plotted but the ellipse is omitted. When there are fewer

than 10 laboratories retained in the Grand Mean the graph is not plotted.

For development of the theory, see the paper by J. Mandel and T.W. Lashof,

Interpretation and Generalization of Youden's Two-Sample Diagram, J. of

Quality Technology, Vol. 6, pp 22-36, Jan. 1974.

SUMMARY OF ANALYSES

the GR. MEANS,

SHEETS Standard deviation between the two sheets or samples of the same material.

REPL Same as AVER SDR (see above)

PRECISION OF METHODS

REPL CRP The number of replicate measurements per sheet or sample,

as specified in the Collaborative Reference Program,

REPL ASTM The number of replicate measurements specified for a test

result in the designated ASTM Standard.

REPEAT

REPROD

ABSOLUTE

PERCENT

The repeatability, a measure of the within laboratory precision,

i.e., of the ability of the test technician to repeat his test

result: two test results obtained by the same technician on

the same homogeneous sample of material may be expected 95% of

the time to agree within the repeatability.

The reproducibility, a measure of the between laboratory precision: two test results obtained in different laboratories

may be expected 95% of the time to agree within the reproducibility .

Values of REPEAT and REPROD expressed in the units of measurement.

Values of REPEAT and REPROD expressed as a percent of the GR.

TENSILE STRENGTH, ULTIMATE ELONGATION, AND STRESS AT 300% ELONGATION

NOTES

Material C81 and C82 were sheets of the same vulcanized rubber. Similarly, materials C83 and C84 were alike.

V100 results were obtained at NBS using a pendulum tester.

All participants used Die C in ASTM D412 with the following exceptions:

V0070 used ASTM Die B V0122, V0178 and V0208 did not specify a Die V0126 used Die 2 in BS903 V0213 and V0225 used ASTM Die D

Electronic testers were used by 44 (66%) of the 67 participants;

pendulum testers were used by 20 participants; 3 participants did not specify either type. Elongation measurements were made by automatic

devices by 24 (36%) participants and manually by the rest. There were

24 (36%) reported relative humidities above 55% and 14 (21%) reported relative humidities below 45%. Seven participants (10%) did not report

the relative humidity used.

HARDNESS

NOTES

Materials C81 and C82 were sheets of the same vulcanized rubber. Similarly, materials C83 and C8A were alike.

V100 results were obtained at NBS using ASTM D2240.

Five of the 33 participants reporting used ASTM D1415 (Wallace)

for the hardness determination. One participant did not report

the instrument used. All others used ASTM D2240 (Type A Durometer).

Materials T81 and T82 were the same rubber. Similarly, materials

T83 and T84 were the same rubber. No sample preparation was required

for materials T81 and T82 whereas, mill massing was required for materials T83 and T84.

V100 results were obtained at NBS on the manually closed viscometer

used for determining the Mooney viscosities of the standard rubbers.

VULCANIZATION CHARACTERISTICS USING OSCILLATING DISK CURE METER

NOTES

Materials Y81 and Y82 were the same rubber formulation. Similarly, materials Y83 and Y84 were alike.

V100 results were obtained at NBS using a model TM-100 Monsanto

Rheometer with a disk oscillating at +1° amplitude and 1.7 hertz

frequency.

One participant used a Monsanto Rheometer operated at 10° Amplitude

and 1.7 hertz frequency. All others used Monsanto Rheometers

operated at one degree amplitude and 1.7 hertz frequency.

16. ABSTRACT (A 200-word or less factual summary of most si ghificant 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.

17. KEY WORDS (six to twelve entries; alphabetical order; capitalize only the first letter of the first key word unless a proper name;

separated by semicolons)

Collaborative reference program; Laboratory evaluation; Precision;

Reference samples; Rubber; Testing calibration.
