X + k. S ≤ L

S is standard deviation, where:

S 2 = ∑ x − X 2 ∕ n − 1
X
  • the arithmetical mean of the results obtained from the sample

  • x
  • the individual results obtained from the sample

  • L
  • the appropriate limit value

  • n
  • the number of engines in the sample

  • k
  • statistical factor depending on n (see table below)

  • If n ≥ 20 then k = 0,860 ∕ n .
