27、le conforms to therequirements of this specification as determined by regularlymade and recorded tests.7.2 Description of Inspection Terms:7.2.1 LotAn inspection lot shall consist of an identifiablequantity of wire subjected to inspection at one time. Each lotshall consist of units of wire of the sa
28、me size and temper,manufactured under essentially the same conditions at essen-tially the same time. The amount in any case shall not exceed100 production units.7.2.2 SampleA sample is a quantity of production units(coils, reels, and so forth) selected at random from the lot forthe purpose of determ
29、ining conformance of the lot to therequirements of this specification.7.2.3 SpecimenA specimen is a length of wire removedfor test purposes from any individual production unit of thesample.7.3 Sample SizeThe number of production units in asample shall be as follows:7.3.1 For breaking strength, elong
30、ation, electricalresistance, and diameter measurements, the sample shall con-sist of a quantity of production units shown in Table 2 underheading “First Sample.” From each unit, one test specimen ofsufficient length shall be removed for the performance of therequired tests.7.3.2 For surface finish a
31、nd packaging inspection, whenspecified by the purchaser at the time of placing the order, thesample shall consist of a quantity of production units as shownin Table 3.8. Conformance Criteria8.1 Any lot of wire, the samples of which comply withconformance criteria of this section, shall be considered
32、 ascomplying with the requirements of Section 5. Individualproduction units that fail to meet one or more of the require-ments shall be rejected. Failure of a sample group from a lot tomeet one or more of the following criteria shall constitutecause for rejection of the lot. The conformance criteria
33、 for eachof the prescribed properties given in Section 5 are as follows:8.1.1 For breaking strength, elongation, resistance, anddiameter measurements, the sample shall consist of a quantityof production units shown in Table 2 under heading “FirstSample.” If there are no defects, the lot shall be con
34、sidered asconforming to these requirements. If there are defects, but thenumber of these do not exceed the allowable defect number c2(Table 2) for the respective number of units in the sample, asecond sample equal to n2shall be taken and the total defectsof the n1+ n2units shall not exceed the allow
35、able defectnumber c2. Failure to meet this requirement shall constitutefailure to meet the conformance criteria (Explanatory Note 4).8.1.1.1 Breaking Strength and ElongationThe breakingstrength and elongation of each of the specimens shall conformto the requirements of 5.1 and Table 1.8.1.1.2 Electr
36、ical ResistanceThe electrical resistanceshall conform to the requirements of 5.2 and Table 1.8.1.1.3 DiameterThe diameter of each of the specimensshall conform to the requirements of 5.3.8.1.2 For surface finish and packaging, when specified bythe purchaser at the time of placing the order, the samp
37、le shallconsist of a quantity of production units as shown in Table 3.The number of units in the sample showing nonconformance tothe requirements shall not exceed the allowable defect numberc in Table 3. Failure to meet the requirements shall constitutefailure to meet the conformance criteria.9. Pac
38、kaging and Package Marking9.1 Package sizes and marking shall be agreed to betweenthe manufacturer and the purchaser in the placing of individualorders.9.2 The wire shall be packaged so that it is protected againstdamage or degradation in ordinary handling and shipping.TABLE 2 Sampling for Mechanica
