10.3 Preparation of the Plates for the Cleanability Test:
10.3.1 Prepare 60 plates with one leveled tablespoon of
tomato sauce on each plate.
10.3.2 The plates are to be dry and stabilized at a room
temperature of 75 6 5°F (24 6 3°C) before the tomato sauce
is portioned onto the plate.
10.3.3 Apply one level tablespoon (15 mL) of tomato sauce
as described in 7.3 to a plate, and evenly distribute the tomato
sauce around the plate by shaking and turning the plate. Portion
out the tomato sauce one plate at a time. Make sure that the
tomato sauce is not distributed onto the rim/lip of the plate. In
addition, do not use a spoon or other utensil to spread the
tomato sauce, as this will leave ridges in the sauce on the plate,
altering test times. Using a utensil will also pickup some of the
sauce and make the amount of sauce on each plate different.

%U3 5 12.8 % %U4 5 ~U4/Xa4! 3 100 % (A1.22)
A1.5.5 Run a fourth test. Since the percent uncertainty for %U4 5 ~0.11/1.26! 3 100 %
the gpm flow rate test is greater than 610 %, the precision %U4 5 8.7 %
requirement has not been satisfied. An additional test is run in
an attempt to reduce the uncertainty. The result from the fourth A1.5.9 Step 7—Since the percent uncertainty, %U4, is less

A1.5.6 Step 4—Recalculate the average and standard devia- along with its corresponding absolute uncertainty, U4, as
