28、tion responsibility. The supplier is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified, the supplier may utilize his own or any other inspection facilities and services acceptable to the government. The government reserves the right to

29、perform any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure that supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements. 4.1.1 Component and material inspection. The supplier is responsible for insuring that components and materials used are

30、manufactured, examined, and tested in accordance with referenced specifications and standards. The supplier shall verify that the production facility will produce acetylene that complies with the percent by volume (v/v) acetylene purity requirements of 3.1 for the grade supplied. Current analytical

31、records of acetylene production by the facility may be used to perform the verification. The analytical records shall be considered current if taken within 180 days preceding the date of contract or purchase order. When current analytical records are not available, or in case of process upset or equ

32、ipment malfunction which affects the product purity, not less than one acetylene sample from the production facility shall be tested as specified in 4.4.2.1 prior to starting or continuing production. 4.2 Quality conformance inspection. 4.2.1 Examination. Each filled cylinder shall be examined as sp

33、ecified in 4.3.1. Presence of one or more defects shall be cause for rejection of the cylinder. 4.2.2 Tests. 4.2.2.1 Individual cylinder. Each filled cylinder shall be tested for leakage as specified in 4.3.2.3. Failure of the test shall be cause for rejection of the cylinder. 4.2.2.2 Samples (carbi

34、de process acetylene only). Samples selected from each lot of carbide process acetylene shall be tested for phosphine/arsine and hydrogen sulfide as specified in 4.3.2.2. Sampling shall be from filled cylinders and shall be conducted in accordance with ASQ Z1.4. A lot shall be considered to be all c

35、ylinders filled from the same source during a consecutive 24-hour period. The acceptance quality limit (AQL) shall be as specified in the contract (see 6.2). 4.3 Inspection procedure. 4.3.1 Examination. The filled acetylene cylinders shall be examined for the following defects: a. Cylinder or valve

36、not as specified in 3.2. b. Cylinder maintenance not as specified in 3.3. c. Capacity not as specified in 3.4. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-BB-A-106D 6 4.3.2 Tests. 4.3.2.1 Acetylene purity. (This test is required only for verifica

37、tion of the production facility as outlined in 4.1.1.) Compliance with the acetylene purity requirement of 3.1 shall be determined by gas chromatography or other appropriate instrumental method. Prior to the test, a few cubic feet of gas shall be discharged to purge the sampling lines. The minimum a

38、cetylene content shall be 99.6 percent (v/v) for grade A and 98.0 percent (v/v) for grade B. Otherwise, compliance with the minimum requirements has not been met and shall constitute failure of this test. 4.3.2.2 Phosphine/arsine and hydrogen sulfide (carbide process acetylene only). Compliance of c

39、arbide process acetylene with the phosphine/arsine and hydrogen sulfide requirements of 3.1 shall be determined qualitatively as specified in 4.3.2.2.1. In case of dispute, the acetylene shall be quantitatively analyzed as specified in 4.3.2.2.2. Prior to each test, a few cubic feet of gas shall be

40、discharged to purge the sampling lines. 4.3.2.2.1 Qualitative determination. The qualitative determination for both grade A and grade B acetylene may be made with color detector tubes for phosphine/arsine and for hydrogen sulfide (see 6.7). If the indicated percentage of phosphine/arsine or of hydro

41、gen sulfide is greater than that specified in 3.1, the acetylene shall have failed the test. 4.3.2.2.2 Quantitative analysis. The quantitative determination of phosphine/arsine and of hydrogen sulfide shall be by gas chromatography or other appropriate instrumental method. The maximum allowance for

42、phosphine/arsine is 0.0025 percent (v/v) for grade A and 0.05 percent (v/v) for grade B. The maximum allowance for hydrogen sulfide is 0.0025 percent (v/v) for grade A and 0.05 percent (v/v) for grade B. Quantities in excess of these respective amounts shall constitute failure of this test. Analysis

43、 by gas chromatography may be performed in lieu of the method specified in 4.3.2.2.1, if gas chromatography is the suppliers preferred method of testing. 4.3.2.3 Leakage. After filling, each cylinder shall be tested for leakage by applying a soap solution to all portions of the valve, the junction o

44、f the valve and cylinder, and the safety device on the cylinder. Care shall be taken to ensure that the solution does not contaminate the valve outlet. Any evidence of gas leakage as indicated by bubbling of the soap solution shall constitute failure of this test. 4.4 Inspection of preparation for d

45、elivery. All cylinders shall be examined to determine if any markings are missing, illegible, incorrect, or incomplete. Any one defect shall be cause for rejection. 5. PACKAGING 5.1 Packing. Shipment of the cylinders of acetylene shall conform to 49 CFR 171-185. 5.1.1 Palletization. When specified (

46、see 6.2), the cylinders of a single grade of acetylene shall be palletized together in the vertical, valve-up position, on hardwood pallets in accordance with the requirements of the procuring agency or activity.

47、om IHS-,-,-BB-A-106D 7 5.2 Marking. The cylinders shall be marked in accordance with 49 CFR 171-185. Each cylinder shall be stenciled or tagged grade A or grade B as applicable. 5.2.1 Civil agencies. In addition to the marking specified in 5.2, the cylinders shall be marked in accordance with FED-ST

48、D-123. 5.2.2 Military agencies. In addition to the markings specified in 5.2, the cylinders shall be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-129. 6. NOTES INFORMATION FOR GUIDANCE ONLY.
