Quality Assurance Provisions5.1 Sampling inspection as part of manufacturing operationsis an acceptable practice to ascertain conformance to require-ments.5.2 Quality Conformance InspectionUnless otherwisespecified, sampling for inspection shall

32、 be performed as agreedby parties involved or per regulations involved or in accor-dance with Practice ANSI Z1.4.5.2.1 The end items shall be examined for conformance tothe specified dimensions and for capacity. Any dimension notwithin the specified tolerance or any drum not meeting itscapacity as s

33、pecified in 4.4, shall be classified as a defect. Thedrums shall be examined for capacity in accordance with 5.3.6.The lot size shall be expressed in units of drums of one size.The sample unit shall be one drum.5.2.2 Drums shall be selected randomly for testing and shallbe subjected to tests specifi

34、ed in 5.3.

36、R 178.606.D5998 1625.3.5 Handling TestThe drum shall be filled with water to98 % 6 2 % of rated capacity. The handling device to be testedshall be used to lift the drum to a height of 3 ft (914 mm), thenlowered to the ground. This shall be repeated twice and thenheld at a height of 3 ft (914 mm) for

37、 a period of 10 min. Failureto comply with the requirements of 3.2 shall be cause forrejection of the item.5.3.6 Capacity TestThe overflow capacity, Vo, in gallons(litres) of the drum shall be determined by pouring fresh waterat 68 6 2F (20 6 1C) into the drum until no more water canbe added and rec

38、ording the weight, W2, in pounds (kilograms).Subtract the initial weight, W1, in pounds (kilograms) of thedrum and calculate the overflow capacity, in gallons (litres).The outage is the capacity excess between the rated (marked)capacity, V, in gallons (litres) and the overflow capacity.Calculate the

39、 overflow capacity and outage using the followingformulas:Example:overflow capacity 5 Vo, gal 5W2,lb 2 W1,lb8.33, lb/gal(1)where:W1= initial weight, lb, andW2= final weight, lb.outage %! 5100Vo 2 Vrated !Vrated(2)where:Vo = overflow capacity, gal, andVrated= rated capacity, gal.6.
