| Fine Sediment Separation Results | ||||||
| Results include determination of fine material (<0.063 mm) mass for each SLQA study. A highlighted value exceeds study's | ||||||
| control limits, for a specific size class. Laboratories analyze 9 samples in each study. 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). | ||||||
