Rolls offabric are unwound and rewound as the fabric traverses theinspection station, with provision for interruption of thetraverse for stationary inspection.NOTE 1In accordance with an applicable material specification, fabricis inspected full width or within a specified distance of the o

22、uter edge ofthe selvage, or if its in one-piece woven fabric within a specified distanceof the visible line created where the two inflatable layers initially interlace.7.2.2 Fabric inspectors grade imperfections for severity interms of their size, relative separation, and frequency per unitarea in a

23、ccordance with Tables 1-5 of these practices.7.2.3 A count of imperfections is recorded, and the roll isfurther processed in accordance with the applicable materialspecification.7.3 Significance and Use:7.3.1 This practice for inspecting rolls of fabric is used toidentify imperfections on a unit are

24、a basis and to flag them inaccordance with an applicable material specification.7.3.2 The suitability of a roll of fabric for further use orprocessing is not determined by the presence or severity ofimperfections, but by the limits placed on rolls of fabric, if any,in the applicable material specifi

25、cation.7.3.3 This practice for inspecting rolls of fabric does notdifferentiate between rolls of fabric intended for incorporationin driver side, passenger side, or side impact cushions, or forincorporation in front or rear panels of such cushions.7.3.4 Whenever differences arise between the grading

26、 re-sults reported by the supplier and those determined by thepurchaser, entire rolls of fabric are set aside by the purchaser orsupplier for joint visual inspection and grading. Material isaccepted or rejected subsequently by mutual agreement basedon the criteria in this practice and the applicable

Flagging de-vices or marks may interfere

34、 with subsequent processing. Donot flag imperfections unless the material specification requiresit, and then only in the manner described.7.6.3.2 Unless otherwise specified, if a imperfection extendslonger than 1 m (yd) in the warp direction, flag only itsbeginning and end, but record its entire len

35、gth in the report.7.6.4 Using the clear template and reference photographs asguides, flag imperfections if they are not allowed according toTables 1-5 or if their size, separation, or frequency areexcessive (exceed the limits of Tables 1-5).7.6.4.1 The inspection limits of Tables 1-5 may be relaxed

36、ifpurchaser and supplier mutually agree that experience anddesign considerations allow for imperfections not to be flaggedthat in the absence of such agreement would otherwise beflagged according to the limits listed in Tables 1-5. In suchcase, flag the imperfections if they exceed the relaxed limit

39、ar imperfections must be separated by a minimum of 500mm.7.6.7 If the material specification establishes a maximumallowable limit for the number of imperfections, adjust the totalcount of imperfections per roll to account for variations in rolllength. Calculate the adjusted count using (Eq 1):Ca5 Ct

Practice for Inspecting and Culling Cut Parts8.1 ScopeThis practice describes a pro

43、cedure for theinspection and culling of pieces cut from coated and uncoatedwoven fabrics for subsequent incorporation into inflatablerestraint cushions.8.2 Summary of Practice:8.2.1 Prior to being incorporated into inflatable restraintcushions, individual cut pieces of fabric are visually inspectedf

44、or imperfections. Cut pieces containing the imperfectionslisted in Tables 1-5 of these practices are culled from use, andthe remaining parts are approved for incorporation into airbagcushions.8.2.2 Culled pieces are saved for subsequent review by thepurchaser and supplier.8.3 Significance and Use:8.

45、3.1 This practice for inspecting cut parts does not differ-entiate between cut pieces intended for incorporation in driverside, passenger side, or side impact cushions, or for incorpo-ration in front or rear panels of a cushion. Such differentiationmay be allowed by the applicable cushion specificat

Material isaccepted or rejected subsequently by mutual agreement ba

48、re:8.5.1 Remove a single cut panel from the stack of parts.Orient the coated side facing the inspector if the fabric iscoated.8.5.2 Hold the panel up to the light or place it on a backlittable top. Using the clear template and reference photographsas guides, reject parts if they contain imperfection

49、s that are notallowed according to Tables 1-5 or if their size, separation, orfrequency are excessive (exceed the limits of Tables 1-5).NOTE 2Experience may indicate that for certain secondary fabriccomponents such as heat shielded and tethers the limitations of Tables 1-5may be too restrictive or not sufficiently restrictive, causing the rejectionof otherwise acceptable parts or acceptance of non-conforming material.In such cases, deviations from Tables 15 shall be in accordance with andreported according to the applicable material specification.8.5.2.1 For front and back faces o
