44、SNOTE 1Steel wire cannot be produced to exact specified lengths.Since welding of steel wires for use in electrical conductors is notaccepted, the random lengths of wire that result from normal productioncan result in otherwise good product being rejected and scrapped. In orderto reduce cost, the pur

45、chaser and manufacturer should, at the time ofpurchase, have an agreed upon method to permit the acceptance of oddlengths of steel wire.Atypical agreement would be to permit lengths otherthan the specified length for up to 5 % of the purchased quantity with anysingle piece being not less than 50 % o
