| Sediment Mass Results | |||||||
| Results include determination of sediment mass. Target values are determined gravimetrically during sample preparation. | |||||||
| Median percent differences are calculated using all submitted analyses by participants for each sample class. | |||||||
| Upper and lower control limits are +/-3 f-pseudosigma from median, respectively. F-pseudosigma = (Interquartile range)/1.349. | |||||||
| Reported laboratory results percent difference = (((Reported value - Target value)/(Target value)) * 100). | |||||||
