1、Designation:B76290(Reapproved 2016)Standard Test Method ofVariables Sampling of Metallic and Inorganic Coatings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B762;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last
2、 revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method provides sampling plans that areintended for use in the inspection of metallic and inorganiccoatings on produc
3、ts for the purpose of deciding whethersubmitted lots of coated products comply with the specifica-tions applicable to the coating.1.2 The sampling plans are variables plans.In plans of thistype,several articles of product are drawn from a productionlot.A characteristic of the coating on the drawn ar
4、ticles ismeasured.The values obtained are used to estimate the numberof articles in the lot that do not conform to a numerical limit,for example a minimum thickness.The number is compared toa maximum allowable.1.3 Variables plans can only be used when the characteristicof interest is measurable,the
5、test method gives a numericalmeasure of the characteristic,and the specification places anumerical limit on the measured value.It is also necessary thatthe variation of the characteristic from article to article in aproduction lot be normally distributed(see Appendix X2).Each article must be tested
6、in the same way(for example,coating thickness must be measured at the same location,seeX2.7)so that the values from article to article are comparable.If one or more of these conditions are not met,a variables plancannot be used.Instead,an attributes plan must be used.Theseare given in Test Method B6
7、02 and Guide B697.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

13、 variables sampling exist.This method has noplan comparable to Table 4 of Test Method B602,becausevariables plans are subject to an excessive probability of errorwhen the number of nonconforming articles in a lot is expected1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee B08 on Metallic
14、and Inorganic Coatings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B08.10 onTest Methods.Current edition approved Nov.1,2016.Published November 2016.Originallyapproved in 1986.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as B762 90(2010).DOI:10.1520/B0762-90R16.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit th
