20、inspection provisions 4.3.1 Lot formation.-The term “inspection lot“ as used in this specification is defined as an essentially homogeneous col- lection of units of product from which a representative sample is drawn and inspected to dekermine conformance with applicable requirements. The sample sel
21、ected shall represent only that quantity of units from which the sample was drawn and shall not be construed to represent any prior or subsequent quantities pre- sented for inspection. Homogeneity shall be considered to exist provided the inspection lot has been produced by one manufacturer in one u
22、nchanged process using the same materials and methods, with the same specifications and same specification revisions and complies with the provisions for submission of product as specified in MIL-STD-105. Changes to the process, specifications, not affecting safety, performance, interchangeability,
23、or storage, as determined by the Government, shall not be deemed to alter the homogeneity of an inspection lot. All material submitted 5 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-T-48260 3 .7777706 MIL-T-48260 (MU) for inspection in accorda
24、nce with this spe ification shall comply with the homogeneity criteria specified herein regardless of the type of sampling procedure which is being applied to determine conformance with requirements. 4.3.2 Examination of the end item. Examination of the end item shall be in accordance with 4.3.2.1 t
25、hrough 4.3.2.3. 4.3.2.1 Yard-by-yard examination. Each roll in the sample shall be examined on the face side. When the total yardage in the roll does not exceed 100 yards, the entire yardage in the roll shall be examined. When the total yardage in the roll exceeds 100 yards, only the first 100 yards
26、 per roll shall be examined. The sample size shall be in accordance with the following: Lot size (yards) Sample Size (roiis)/ 3200 or less 3201 up to and including 10,000 10,000 and over 8 13 20 1/No more than one roll shall be taken from any shipping container unless the number of shipping containe
27、rs in the lot is less than the required number of rolls, in which case, all shipping containers shall be present in the sample. All defects as defined in Section III of FED-STD-4, which are clearly noticeable at normal inspection distances (3 feet) shall be scored and assigned demerit points as list
28、ed in 4.3.2.2. No linear year (increment of 1 yard on the measuring device of the inspection machine) from any one roll within the sample shall be penalized more than 4 points. The lot shall be unacceptable if the points per 100 square yards of the total yardage examined exceeds 35 points. The lot s
29、hall be unacceptable if the points per 100 square yards of two or more individual rolls exceed 53.0 points. If one roll exceeds 45.0 points per 100 square yards, a second sample equal in size to the first sample shall be examined only for individual roll quality examination. The lot shall be unaccep
30、table if one or more rolls in the second sample exceeds 45.0 points per 100 square yards, Point computation for lot quality and individual roll quality shall be as follows: Total points scored in sample X 3600 = points per 100 Contracted width of cloth(inches) X total square yards yards inspected. 6

During the yard-by-yard examination, each roll in the sample shall be examined for length. Any length found to be less tha
34、n the minimum specified or more than two yards less than the length marked on the ticket shall be considered a defect with respect to length. The lot shall be unacceptable if two or more rolls in the sample are defective in respect to length. . 4.3.2.3.2 Total yardage in sample. The lot shall be una
35、cceptable if the total of the actual lengths of the rolls in the sample is less than the total of the lengths marked on the tickets. The rolls examined shall be those selected for the examination of individual rolls. 4.3.3 Sampling. Sampling shall be in accordance with ASTM Method E105. One containe
36、r (roll) shall be sampled from each lot. Five yards of material shall be subjected to the required inspections. No inspection shall be performed on the first five yards of material from the roll selected. If the sample fails to meet any of the requirements, the lot shall be rejected. The classificat
37、ion and code numbers for the tests are given below. 7 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-I MIL-T-4B260 83 9999906 0404L57 9 m MIL-T-48260 (MU) Category Defect Code No. (see 6.2) Specific Gravity Major Solubility Major Width Major Weight

A sample of the tape shall be placed in a fat-free extraction thimble (Whatman single thickness) to prevent
39、 escape of sample. Thimble with sample is extracted in a Soxhlet extractor, using chloroform, for at least 20 cycles. After extraction the sample shall be thoroughly dried. A liquid of specific gravity 1.36 and liquid of specific gravity 1.40 shall be prepared by mixing the proper proportions of eit
40、her xylene or benzene with Perchlorethylene and checking the specific gravity with a hydrometer. The extracted sample for specific gravity determination shall be prepared by tying a knot in the polyester yarn and cutting the yarn on each side of the knot. Boil the sample for 5 minutes in either benz
41、ene or xylene. Remove the sample with a tweezer and place below the surface of the liquid of known specific gravity in a test tube. The polyester fiber shall sink to the bottom of the tube when placed in liquid of specific gravity 1.36 and float in the liquid of specific gravity 1.40. 4.4.2 Solubili
42、ty. Place separate samples of the tape into individual beakers containing boiling acetone, 70 percent sulfuric acid, 5 percent sodium hydroxide and boiling methylene chloride. Allow tape to remain in contact with the solvent for ten minutes with intermittent stirring. Visually check if the solvent a
43、ttacked or dissolved the tape. 4.4.3 Width. Determine the width of the tape in accordance with Method 5020 of FED-STD-191. 4.4.4 Weight.
