Report on First X-Ray Fluorescence Round-Robin Test

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Round robin tests with 16 cooperating laboratories were designed to gather preliminary information on precision of the x-ray method as affected by several commonplace factors. Of the four factors examined the following contributions to precision were found in terms of standard deviation: Resetting operating conditions of the x-ray tube, 0.5%; repositioning the x-ray spectrometer at the x-ray line peak, 0.5% or less; estimating composition under the most adverse conditions, 10% of amount present (An error of about 2% composition was observed to be rather constant over a wide range of composition); precision of mixing powders to a nominal composition, 7%. In addition, the statistical nature of the x-ray process was checked, and experiment found to be in agreement with theory.
