ASTM D1120 standard test method for boiling point of engine coolants
9. Report
9.1 Report the following information:
9.1.1 The equilibrium boiling point as the observed temperature rounded off to the nearest 0.3°C (0.5°F), corrected for thermometer inaccuracy and barometric pressure.
10. Precision and Bias
10.1 Precision:
10.1.1 Reproducibility - For diluted samples boiling below 100°C (212°F), results should not differ from each other by more than 1.4°C (2.5°F) and, for samples boiling above 100°C (212°F), results should not differ from each other by more than 2.5°C (4.5°F).
10.1.2 For unused concentrated samples boiling below 100°C (212°F), results should not differ from each other by more than 1.4°C (2.5°F), and for samples boiling above 100°C (212°F), results should not differ by more than 5.6°C (10°F).
10.2 Bias - Since there is no accepted reference material suitable for determining the bias for the procedure in this test method, bias has not been determined.
