Scope1.1 This specification covers the establishment of the basicquality, physical/mechanical property,

3、and test requirementsfor silicon nitride balls Classes I, II, and III to be used for ballbearings and specialty ball applications.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system are not exact equivalents; therefor

4、e, each systemmust be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in nonconformance with thespecification.2.
