No statistically significant difference was observed between 2 of the 3 levels analyzed between the two
5
methods. The p-values calculated at a 95% confidence level for the low and medium levels were 0.1471
6
and 0.0661. The t-test indicated a significant difference between the 3M RYM method and the ISO and
7
FDA BAM methods on the high level with a p-value of 0.0045. The 3M RYM method had a higher
8
repeatability value than the ISO and FDA BAM methods for the low and high levels, with S
r
values,
9
respectively, of 0.0788 and 0.2220 for the low level and 0.0331 and 0.0603 for the high level. For the
10
medium level the ISO and FDA BAM had higher repeatability values compared to the RYM method, with
11
S
r
values, respectively, of 0.0885 and 0.0590. Detailed results are presented in Table 15.
