Repeatability

Critical Range

Wc = fn x σa

Wc is critical range for 95% confidence limit.

For 2 readings Fn = 2.8 (Table 1, EN932-6)

Water Content Data

Test No. Water Content %

1 2.2
2 2.4

σa = 0.1414

Wc = 0.1414 * 2.8 = 0.29

Critical Range = 2.2 to 2.5

Since our data point falls within the range, they can ne averaged as X

r1 = 0.11 + 0.079 X (BS EN 1097-5, Annex C)

r1 = 0.11 + 0.079*2.3 = 0.29

The range is 2.2 to 2.5
