33、t. 4.2.2 End item inspection. 4.2.2.1 Yard-by-yard examination. Each roll in the sample shall be examined on the face side only. When the total yardage in the roll does not exceed 100 yards, the entire yardage in the roll shall be examined. When the total yardage in the roll exceeds 100 yards, only

34、100 yards shall be examined. All defects, as defined in Section I of FED-STD-4, which are clearly noticeable at normal inspection distance (3 feet) shall be scored and assigned demerit points as listed in 4.2.2.1.1. No linear yard (increments of 1 yard on the measuring device of the inspection machi

35、ne) from any one roll within the sample shall be penalized more than four points. The sample size shall be 20 rolls selected from 20 cartons. The lot shall be unacceptable if the points per 100 square yards of the total yardage examined exceed 30 points. The lot shall be unacceptable if the points p

36、er 100 square yards of two or more individual rolls or pieces exceed 45 points. If no individual roll exceeds the point level, the lot shall be accepted. If one roll exceeds the point level, a second sample of 20 rolls shall be examined only for individual roll quality. The lot shall be unacceptable

37、 if one or more rolls in the second sample exceed the point level. Point computation for lot quality and individual roll quality shall be as follows: Total points scored in sample x 3600 = Points per 100 square yards Contracted width of cloth (inches) x Total yards inspected 4.2.2.1.1 Demerit points

38、.

39、ts - For defects exceeding 9 inches in any dimension - four points The following defects, when present, shall be scored four points for each yard in which they occur: Page 5 of 8 PIA-C-2003A - Baggy, ridgy, or wavy cloth - Width less than specified - Poor dye penetration, mottled, streaky, or cloudy

40、 - Excessive nappiness. 4.2.2.2 Length examination. 4.2.2.2.1 Individual rolls. During the yard-by-yard examination, each roll in the sample shall be examined for length. Any roll found to be less than the minimum specified or more than 2 yards less than the length marked on the ticket shall be cons

41、idered a defect with respect to length. The lot shall be unacceptable if two or more rolls in the sample are defective in respect to length. 4.2.2.2.2 Total yardage in sample. The lot shall be unacceptable if the total of the actual lengths of rolls in the sample is less than the total of the length

42、s marked on the tickets. 4.2.3 End item testing. The cloth shall be tested for the characteristics listed in TABLE II. The methods of testing specified in TABLE II shall be followed. The physical and chemical values specified in Section 3, except where otherwise specified, apply to the results of th

43、e determinations made on a sample unit for test purposes as specified in the applicable test method. All test reports shall contain the individual values utilized in expressing the final result. The sample unit shall be 2 continuous yards full width of the finished cloth. The lot shall be unacceptab

44、le if one or more sample units fail to meet any requirement specified. Unless otherwise specified, testing shall be performed under standard conditions in accordance with ASTM D 1776.
