Context:  The accuracy of test results is not only dependent on the accuracy with which the procedure is carried out, but also on the accuracy of cutting the test pieces (specimens) from the original sample. Some tests, for example, tensile strength and edge crush, are particularly sensitive, and cutting accuracy is a prime cause of variation in the values obtained.
