The following three lectures will be given during…, Statistical Requirements Inside and Outside ASTM International, Many coatings and raw material manufacturers have registered to the ISO 9002 standard. That standard has been replaced by ISO 9001:2000, with the requirements for the new standard being more extensive. However, some of the new requirements can be met by using basic statistical techniques. This presentation, which will be given by Robert Morrison, is an overview of the new requirements and compare…, The Use of Ranked vs. Rated Data in the Evaluation of Weathered Specimens or Material, The evaluation of specimens after weathering can be handled by a number of approaches; two of these are rating and ranking. Rating requires one to compare the specimens against a scale (i.e., 1 to 10). Ranking, on the other hand, requires the direct comparison of the specimens against each other. Louis Asher will make this presentation, which will center on these two approaches and will…, ASTM International Interlaboratory Study Program, ASTM International recently approved a new Interlaboratory Study Program.
