VERIFICATION 4.1 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as confor

19、mance inspection (see 4.3). 4.2 Test equipment and inspection facilities. Test and measuring equipment and inspection facilities of sufficient accuracy, quality, and quantity to permit performance of the required inspections shall be used. The establishment and maintenance of a calibration system to

20、 control the accuracy of the measuring and test equipment shall be in accordance with NCSL Z540.3 or equivalent. 4.3 Conformance inspection. Conformance inspection shall consist of groups A and B inspections as specified in 4.3.5 and 4.3.6 respectively, and shall be performed on every lot of cable p

21、rocured under this specification. Sampling inspection shall be accomplished for each lot in accordance with 4.3.2. 4.3.1 Lot. A lot shall consist of all cable manufactured under substantially the same conditions and offered for inspection at one time. 4.3.1.1 Lot size. The lot size shall be defined

22、as the number of units of product submitted for inspection. 4.3.1.2 Unit of product. A unit of product shall be defined as the continuous length of cable contained on a single reel, spool, or in a package. 4.3.1.3 Specimen. A specimen is a single piece of finished wire which is taken from a sample u

23、nit and subjected to inspection. 4.3.2 Sampling. A random sample shall be selected from each lot as specified in table III. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-DTL-13241D 4 TABLE III. Inspection sample. Inspection lot size 1/ Sample s

Failure of any sample to pass any inspection shall constitute a failure of the lot.

25、 If an inspection lot is rejected, the contractor may rework the lot to correct the defects or screen out the defective units, and resubmit the lot for re-inspection. Such lots shall be separated from new lots and shall be identified as re-inspected lots (see 4.3.4). 4.3.4 Noncompliance. If a sample

26、 fails to pass any inspection, the contractor shall notify the cognizant inspection activity of such failure and take corrective action on the materials or processes or both, as warranted, on all units of product. Acceptance and shipment of the product shall be discontinued until corrective action h

27、as been taken. After corrective action has been taken, the conformance inspection shall be repeated on replacement articles. (This includes all tests and examinations, or only the test that the original sample failed, at the option of the cognizant inspection activity.) Final acceptance and shipment

28、 shall be withheld until inspection has shown that the corrective action was successful. In the event of failure after re-inspection, information concerning the failure shall be provided to the cognizant inspection activity. 4.3.5 Group A inspection. This inspection, including sampling, shall consis

29、t of the examinations of 4.4 to determine compliance with the requirements of 3.2 through 3.4.3.2, as applicable, and 3.6. 4.3.6 Group B inspection. This inspection, including sampling, shall consist of the inspections conforming to 4.5 and 4.6 to determine compliance with 3.4.3, 3.4.4, and 3.5.1 re

30、spectively. 4.4 Visual and dimensional inspection. Strands and completed wire shall be inspected to verify that the materials and all workmanship comply with this specification. 4.4.1 Stranding. Specimens shall be inspected for compliance with the requirements of 3.4. 4.4.2 Pitch and lay. Specimens

31、shall be inspected for compliance with the pitch and lay requirements of 3.4.1 through 3.4.2.2. 4.5 Breaking strength and elongation test. Specimens shall be tested for compliance with the requirements of 3.4.3 and 3.4.4 in a tensile testing machine equipped with suitable jaws or sockets. No specime

32、n shall have less than 10 inches of its length between the jaws or sockets. Elongation measurement shall be made on the samples at the same time that the tensile strength test is being performed. In making the elongation measurements, the length, when under a load equal to 10 percent Provided by IHS

33、Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-DTL-13241D 5 of the required minimum breaking strength, shall be denoted as the zero length of the specimens. The final length shall be the reading when fracture occurs. The finished wire shall be considered to ha

34、ve fractured when one strand breaks. Any test in which the tensile strength or elongation is below the required value and in which fracture occurs within one inch from the gripping jaws or sockets shall be disregarded and another adjacent specimen from the same sample shall be tested as required abo

35、ve. 4.6 DC resistance. Specimens shall be tested for compliance with the dc resistance requirements of 3.5.1. 5. PACKAGING 5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by Do

36、D personnel or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Points packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within th
