US Webinar - How to Run a Comparison Test
Join us for a brand new webinar topic - How to Run a Comparison Test. Our experts will present best practices for performing comparative accelerated weathering testing between different laboratory instruments.
Save your spot for Thursday, 29 May at 8 am EDT or 11 am EDT.
A key aspect of Weathering and Corrosion testing is ensuring consistency. This includes repeatable testing in a single instrument, consistency between testing at different laboratory locations, and comparable results between different types of testing equipment. To evaluate the latter, it is important to structure a scientifically-valid comparison test and set realistic expectations for performance before beginning testing. In this webinar, Q-Lab's technical experts will present best practices for comparison tests, including:
- Critical test parameters to standardize on and control
- How to perform equivalent color, gloss, and visual evaluations
- Including sufficient replicate specimens for statistical validity
- Determining and agreeing upon specific acceptance criteria
- Testing in multiple test chambers of each type being compared
The information in this session should provide a helpful outline for anyone trying to compare performance of a new weathering or corrosion test device to that of a known, established instrument.
This webinar will be presented in English.
