ASTM D1264 test method for water washout characteristics of lubricating greases
9. Report
9.1 Report the average of duplicate tests as the percentage weight of grease washed out at the test temperature, and indicate the temperature at which the bearing assembly and grease were dried.
10. Precision and Bias
10.1 The precision of this test method was obtained using ADJD6300 (D2PP).
10.2 Repeatability - The difference between successive results obtained by the same operator with the same apparatus under constant operating conditions on identical test material would, in the long run, in the normal and correct operation of the test method, exceed the following values only in one case in twenty.
where:
X is the average of two results in %.
10.2.1 Reproducibility - The difference between two single and independent results obtained by different operators working in different laboratories on identical test material would, in the long run, exceed the following values only in one case in twenty.
where:
X is the average of two results in %.
10.3 Bias - The procedure in this test method has no bias because the value of grease washout can be defined only in terms of a test method.
