TESTING UNIVERSITY
at Testing Machines Inc.
Testing University was introduced to offer services which include sample preparation and materials testing, providing operator training on laboratory instrumentation and practical understanding of domestic and international standards as they apply to materials testing.
Variables in testing which affect the precision of the data can include:
- variability of the instrument
- variability of the product
- variability of the analyst
Published standards on precision developed through TAPPI and ISO such as T1200, T1206, ISO 5275 do not attempt to isolate the variability of the analyst, even though operator error contributes significantly to measurement uncertainty.
Consistent sample preparation and sample measurement technique are also important factors in improving measurement uncertainty.
Testing University services offered by Testing Machines, Inc. improves the precision, accuracy and capability of individual test laboratory operators.
