Repeatability Range Chart Calculations: Combined Appraisers

Note: This chart is used when (2  Number of Trials  10)

Plotted Statistic:

The difference between the largest and smallest trial for each part for each Appraiser.

Center Line:

The Average Range for all parts from all selected Appraisers.

UCL , LCL (Upper and Lower Control Limit)

where:

R-doublebar is the centerline of the Range Chart

Ordinate is the specified Sigma Level (usually 2.575 for Gage R&R analysis)

d3 is based on a subgroup size equal to the number of trials.

d2* is based on the sample size m = the number of trials and number of samples g = the number of Appraisers times the number of parts.

Notes:

1. Some authors, including AIAG, refer to the quantity (1+3(d3 / d2*)) as D4 , and (1-3(d3 / d2*)) )) as D3

2. Table for d2* values may be found in A.J. Duncan, Quality Control and Industrial Statistics, 1965, Third Edition Richard D. Irwin, Homewood, Illinois. Table D3, pg. 910.
