Rationale

Only RPA Instruments were included in the calculation of this precision statement that were equipped with special software with advanced, but straight ward data treatment of the force transducer output in the time domain using moving averages in real-time. Ref: RCT, L. Hilliou, D. van Dusschoten,N, M. Wilhelm (Max-Planck Institute), H. Burhin, E. R. Rodger (Alpha Technologies), March 1, 2004. Also referencing ASTM D6600 has more information about statistical test sensitivity which might be useful to the reader. D8059 P&B Evaluation Parameters Carbon black only; no silica Only Labs with EDR = 5 labs = Alpha instruments Three properties: G’, G”, and tan delta Use just the first 4 replicates Sweeps: use 1st, last, and 3 between about equally spaced. (Note to not use 1st data points?)
