Plates bolted to the item purchased shall be drilled or punched at allfour camera with holes not less than 1/8 inch or more than 3/16 inch in diameter.3.5 Performance. All plates
14、 except photosensitive plates shall be resistant to thermal shock,corrosion sotvent and fading from solar radiation. Photosensitive plates shall conform to thepermanency requirements of GG-P455.3.6 Resistance to thermal shock. The copy on the finished plate shall be legible and the platematerial sha
15、ll show no evidence of cracking, splitting, wrinkling, warping, or other injuriousdefects after being subjected to the test specified in 2.7.1.3.6.1 Procedure. The plates shall be placed in a hot water bath, which shall be maintained at atemperature of 175 F. for a period of 3 hours. The sample shal
16、l then be immediatelytransferred to a wld chamber, and maintained at a temperature of -65 F, for a period of onehour. This procedure shall be immediately repeated and the plates examined for conformance.3.7 Resistance to corrosion. Finished plates shall show no evidence of corrosion on either sideaf
17、ter being subjected to a 150-hour salt-spray test in accordance with ASTM B1 17.3.8 Resistance to solvent. The copy on the finished plates shall be legible after beingsubjected to the sotvents specified in MI L-STD-202, method 215.3.9 Resistance to weathering. After being subjected to weather tests
18、(see 3.9.1), a plate shallshow no appreciable change in color, clarity or legibility when compared with an original plate.The term, “appreciable change in colofl shall mean a change that is immediately noticeablewhen the tested specimen is compared with the standard chip with the same color.3.9.1 We
19、ather test. The finished item mounted to a test surface shall be exposed to a flamingcarbon arc at a distance of approximately 18 inches for a period of 50 hours. Tha carbon usedshall operate on a current of 50 to 60 amperes. A spray shall be adjusted so that the plate issprayed with water for appro
20、ximately 20 minutes of each 2 houra exposure.3.10 Workmanship. The quality of workmanship shall be in accardanca with the requirementsof this document.
