7、tions. Unless otherwise specified on the drawing, the thickness tolerance and the weight tolerance shall be in accordance with Steel Castings Handbook (supplement 3) and shall indicate tolerance limits in one direction only. The absence of a tolerance in the other direction does not mean a limitatio
8、n of zero tolerance. The plus tolerance for thickness shall be controlled by the weight limitations, and the minus tolerance for weight shall be automatically controlled by the lmitations on thickness. However, if the official weights have not been established and specified for the casting design, t
9、he weights of any casting should not vary by more than 5% from the average weight computed from at least the first 10 castings shipped for production vehicles (see 6.3). 3.2.6 Radiographic inspection. Radiographic requirements for production castings shall provide the necessary coverage to the exten
10、t specified on the position chart, drawings or contract (see 6.2). Armor casting shall be classified in accordance with MIL-STD-1265. 3.2.6.1 Radiographic requirements. Each casting subjected to radiographic inspection shall be legibly and indelibly marked “RT“ to assure positive identification unti
11、l after final acceptance is made. 3.2.6.2 Alternate method of inspection. When agreed upon between the procuring activity and the producer, ultrasonic inspection may be used in lieu f radiographic inspection ( see 4.6.2.10). 3.2.7 Magnetic particle inspection. When specified on the drawing or in the
12、 contract, (see 6.2) magnetic particle inspection for production castings shall be performed in accordance with 4.6.2.7. 3.2.8 Liquid penetrant inspection. When specified on the drawing or in the contract, (see 6.2) liquid penetrant inspection shall be performed in accordance with MIL-STD-6866. 3.2.

On Class-1 first production casting submitted for ballistic evaluation. weighing 2,000 pounds or more and greatei than 3 inches in thickness, one c
26、ore sample, measuring 1-1/4 inch diameter by “T“ long, shall be taken from the location where the thickness of the casting is equal to or greater than the Charpy impact test block thickness, or as agreed upon between the manufacturer and the procuring activity. Thereafter, a core sample shall be tak
27、en from each production casting submitted for ballistic testing (see 4.6.2.9). 4.3 - Lot.
