1、Designation: C 390 08Standard Practice forSampling and Acceptance of Thermal Insulation Lots1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 390; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A nu

2、mber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This standard provides criteria for establishing theacc

3、eptability of lots of shipments of preformed board, pre-formed block and pipe, and batts and blanket thermal insula-tion based on sampling and inspection.1.2 This standard is intended for use in conjunction withappropriate ASTM material specifications that classify anddescribe the specific physical

4、requirements for the product interms of qualification requirements and inspection require-ments. Determination of nonconformity shall be based on thetolerances for individual sample test values prescribed in thematerial specification.1.3 This standard may require inspection substantially dif-ferent

5、from that performed in the normal course of production.If the purchaser requires sampling and acceptance inspection inaccordance with this practice, he shall so specify in the order orcontract.1.4 The vales stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are

6、 mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety a

Thecriteria for determining when quality has deteriorated signifi-cantly must be defined in objective terms for any givensampling scheme.3.1.7 lot (batch)a definite quantity of some productmanufactured under conditions of production that are consid-ered uniform.1This practice is

In all cases, the purchaser should review thisstandard and determine its suitability in terms of his sp

21、ecificneeds.4.2 This procedure is intended primarily for the inspectionof a continuing stream of lots, and there is not a highprobability of rejecting occasional off lots. Consumer protec-tion is based on economic pressure on the producer, throughgreater risk of lot rejection, to maintain the proces

22、s average at90 % conformance or better. Operating characteristic curvesfor the sampling plans employed can be found in PracticeE 2234, Table X-C through Table X-F.4.3 It is not the intent of this procedure to estimate lotquality, control the quality of production, relieve the supplier ofresponsibili

23、ty for the quality of material offered, or determinethe disposition of material found to be defective after receipt bythe purchaser.5. Classification of Requirements5.1 ASTM material specifications shall classify physicalrequirements in two categories:5.1.1 Qualification RequirementsThose requiremen

24、tswhich establish the general suitability of the product but are notjudged necessary, or practical, for routine inspection. Theserequirements usually relate to the inherent properties of thematerial, involve high inspection costs, require long-term tests,or are controlled indirectly by other require

25、ments.5.1.2 Inspection RequirementsThose requirements whichcan and should be monitored on a routine basis. Theserequirements are characterized by a high benefit/cost ratio.They may include visual and dimensional requirements, re-quirements for properties with potentially high variability, orrequirem

26、ents providing indirect control of performance char-acteristics.6. Acceptance for Qualification Requirements6.1 The suppliers certificate of compliance or a thirdpartys certificate of compliance shall be sufficient basis foracceptance of the lot for qualification requirements.6.1.1 The certificate s

27、hall state that compliance to thequalification requirements has been verified by actual inspec-tion of material manufactured within the past three years usingthe same basic ingredients and manufacturing process as thematerial offered.6.1.2 The supplier shall furnish an inspection report uponrequest.

28、7. Acceptance for Inspection Requirements7.1 The acceptance of a lot for inspection requirements shallbe based on the sampling plans and acceptance criteriaprescribed in Table 1 (preformed board, and preformed blockand pipe) and Table 2 (batts and blanket). Single Inspection andAQL = 10 % shall be u

29、sed.7.2 Sampling and inspection shall be carried out as de-scribed in Section 8. Test sample shall be randomly selectedfrom the lot.7.3 For preformed board, and preformed block and pipe lotsof 150 units or less, or batts and blanket lots of 16 146ft2(1500 m2) or less, not subject to tightened inspec

30、tion, thesuppliers certificate of compliance or a third partys certificateof compliance shall be sufficient basis for acceptance of the lotfor inspection requirements.TABLE 1 Sampling Plan and Acceptance Criteria for Inspection RequirementsA(Preformed Board, and Preformed Block and Pipe)Lot Size (Sh

Procedure for Sampling and Inspection8.1 Establish the grouping

34、 of product to be considered thelot and determine the lot size:8.1.1 Unless otherwise specified in the material specifica-tion, order, or contract, the lot shall consist of all thermalinsulation of one type, class, form, size, and thickness pro-duced under the same conditions and procured at the sam

35、etime.8.1.2 The lot size shall be equal to the number of shippingpackages in the lot.8.2 Determine the required sample size from Table 1,expressed in terms of shipping units:8.2.1 Use normal inspection at the start of inspection and forany single lot.8.2.2 Shift from normal to tightened inspection w

37、ty of submittedproduct.8.3 Select the sample from the lot:8.3.1 The sample shall consist of the number of shippingpackages determined as the sample size in 8.2.8.3.2 Select individual shipping packages from the entire lotat random and without regard to expected quality. Whenappropriate, select units

38、 from different sublots identified bysome rational criterion such as shipment or production group-ings.8.4 Perform the inspection called for in the ASTM materialspecification:8.4.1 From each shipping package in the sample, drawsufficient insulation material to perform the complete inspec-tion. This

39、may require a full shipping package or a portionthereof, as one or more pieces cut from a roll or one or moreboards or sections from a carton. Select the material at randomand without regard to quality.8.4.2 Inspect the insulation material drawn from each ship-ping package in the sample. Perform the

40、 number of determi-nations prescribed in the product specification or specified testmethods.8.5 Establish the number of nonconforming units in thesample:8.5.1 Compare the inspection results on the material drawnfrom each shipping unit to the requirements of the materialspecification.8.5.2 Classify t

41、he shipping unit as a nonconforming unit ifthe inspection results show one or more nonconformities to thematerial specification.8.6 Determine the acceptability of the lot:8.6.1 If the number of nonconforming units is equal to orless than the appropriate acceptance number in Table 1, acceptthe lot.8.

42、6.2 If the number of nonconforming units is greater thanthe acceptance number, reject the lot.9.
