Sampling and Inspection4
16、.1 Employ sampling procedures providing an acceptablequality level (AQL) of 4 % at a 90 % confidence level with asample size given by special inspection level S3, except wherespecific sampling is required by particular test procedures.4.2 Acceptable Quality Level (AQL)The acceptable qual-ity level (
17、AQL) may be defined as follows:4.2.1 The maximum percent nonconforming that, for pur-poses of sampling inspection, can be considered satisfactory asa process or long-term average, and4.2.2 A quality level which corresponds to relatively highprobability (commonly 90 %) of acceptance.4.3 Sample SizeTh
18、e sample size is determined accordingto the inspection lot size by the special inspection level S3 ofISO 2589-1 where the inspection is by attributes or specialinspection level S3 of ISO 3951 where the inspection is byvariables.NOTE 1When a manufacturers process satisfies a sampling schemewith an AQ
19、L of 4 % then this indicates that better than 96 % of theinspected production exceeds the specifications. Under this type ofspecification the consumer is provided the protection and confidence of aclearly defined lower boundary. This would not be true if acceptance werebased solely on the average va
20、lue of the measured property. Examples ofsampling schemes which may be used can be found in documents such asISO 390, ISO 2859-1,orISO 3951. Other sampling schemes may be used.Inspection by attributes is a method which consists of determining, forevery item of a sample, the presence or absence of a
21、certain qualitativecharacteristic (attribute) with respect to the applicable specification. It is,in essence, a pass-fail inspection which determines the number of items ina sample that do conform to the specification and the number of those thatdo not conform. An attribute could be a dimensional me
22、asurement, or aflexural strength value, or others that are described in these test methods.Inspection by variable is a method which consists of measuring aquantitative characteristic for each item in a sample. Conformance withthe applicable specification is determined from the mean values of themeas
23、ured properties and the statistical variations of these values aboveand below the mean. These procedures detail sampling plans to suit allcommon sampling situations. The sampling plans specify the number ofspecimens to be taken from each batch and the acceptance/rejectioncriteria. The specified insp
24、ection levels have been selected to suitfiber-cement products, to balance the cost of assessment against confi-dence in results commensurate with this industry.5. Flexural Strength (Modulus of Rupture)5.1 Significance and UseThis is a routine test measuringa primary product characteristic used for p
25、roduct grading.5.2 Procedure:5.2.1 Preparation of Test Specimens, (Flat Sheets)Cut apair of specimens, each 6 6116 in. (152 6 1.6 mm) in widthand 12 6116 in. (305 6 1.6 mm) in length, from the interiorarea of each sample sheet in such a manner that no edge ofspecimen is less that 3 in. (76 mm) from
26、the original edges ofthe sheet. The longer dimension of one of the specimens ofeach pair shall be parallel to the length of the sheet (that is,parallel with the fiber lay), and the other shall be at right anglesto it.5.2.2 Preparation of Test Specimens, (Roofing Shingles,Siding Shingles, and Clapboa
27、rds)Cut a single specimen 6 6116 in. (1526 1.6 mm) in width and 12 6116 in. (305 6 1.6mm) in length from each unit. Cut one half of the specimens insuch a manner that the 12-in. (305-mm) dimension of eachspecimen is parallel to one edge of the shingle or clapboardunit; cut one half of the specimens
28、at right angles thereto.NOTE 2Alternate test specimen dimensions and span may be usedprovided that the ratio of the test span to specimen thickness is not lessthan 18, and that the actual span used be reported.5.2.3 Conditioning:5.2.3.1 Equilibrium ConditioningPlace the test speci-mens, for at least
