The International Method for the determination of the pH of an aqueous susp
ension of filter aids has been collaboratively tested by members of the Ana
lysis Committee of the European Brewery Convention to obtain repeatability
(r(95)) and reproducibility (R-95) values. It was found that precision valu
es were not dependent on the pH of the aqueous suspension of filter aids ov
er the range 6.5 to 10.6. Repeatability (r(95)) value of 0.13 and reproduci
bility value (R-95) of 1.04 were obtained over this range.
