27、 requirements. This report shall include the purchase order number, lot number, AMS4555K, nominal size, and quantity.4.5 Resampling and RetestingIf any specimen used in the above tests fails to meet the specified requirements, disposition of the tubing may be based onthe results of testing three add

28、itional specimens for each original nonconforming specimen. Failure of any retest specimen to meet the specified requirements shall be cause for rejection of the tubing represented. Results of all tests shall be reported.5. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY5.1 IdentificationIndividual tubes or bundles shall

29、have attached a durable tag legibly marked with not less than the purchase order number, AMS4555K, lot number, and nominal size or shall be boxed and the box marked with the same information.5.2 PackagingTubing shall be prepared for shipment in accordance with commercial practice and in compliance w
