Can you explain what Repeatability and Reproducibility
are? The March/April issue of ASTM Standardization News has the DataPoints
column by Alex Lau and Dean Neubauer entitled What are Repeatability and
Reproducibility? Part 1: A D02 Viewpoint for Laboratories while the
May/June issue has the DataPoints column by Neil Ullman and Dean Neubauer
entitled Part 2: The E11 Viewpoint. These first 2 parts of a
continuing series answers this very question. Check out
Part 1 here and Part 2
here.
And don’t forget to look for the next July/August issue
of Standardization News for Part 3: The Repeatability and
reproducibility in measurement systems analysis, or “gage R&R”
methodology.

ASTM D02 has revised ASTM
D975, Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils based on the
activity from last semester. The latest issue is D975-09 to be
electronically published after final proofing. It will most likely be
electronically published this month.
One major modification is the addition of ASTM D7170 Determination of Derived Cetane Number
(DCN) of Diesel Fuel Oils—Fixed Range Injection Period, Constant Volume
Combustion Chamber Method as an alternate method to ASTM D613, Cetane Number of Diesel Fuel Oil.

Parker ACM20 –
Particle Counting is Mandatory for Jet Fuel
|
|
When will it be
Mandatory to use a Particle Counter? June 30, 2009!
Hurry, Time is running
OUT!
|
|
|
|
The inclusion of particle counting (IP564) is mandatory
in the Jet Fuel specification DefStan 91-91 (Issue 6) as of June 30, 2009.
Refineries manufacturing aviation fuel to the DefStan
91-91 (Issue 6) Specification must report cleanliness levels for all 6
channels (>4μ(c), >6μ(c),
>14μ(c), >21μ(c), >25μ(c)
& >30μ(c)) using the ISO 4406:99 format.
While there is no Specification Limit at this point, the
results obtained from the new test method (IP 564) need to be reported
alongside the traditional gravimetric ASTM D5452, Standard Test Method for
Particulate Contamination in Aviation Fuels by Laboratory Filtration
results.
|
|
|
However, once a meaningful PASS/FAIL
limit has been established, it is the intent of the Specification
Authorities to phase out the traditional Millipore / Gravimetric test ASTM
D5452 and replace it with laser based particle counting.

of Defence Defence Standard 91-91, Issue 6 Publication Date 8 April 2008

The standard software includes:
Ø
Torque measurement capability
Ø
Real time graph
Ø
Equipment shutdown programmability
Ø
Alarm monitoring and recording
