24、grade product4.5.2 These two examples illustrate how a one-line, alpha-numeric sequence can identify the product composition, com-mercial parameters and physical characteristics of extruded orcompression molded product. A space must be used as aseparator between the specification number and the type
25、designation. No separators are needed between type, class andgrade. When special notes are to be included, such informationshould be preceded by a comma. Special tolerances must benoted at time of order and are inserted after the grade inparentheses and preceded by a comma.5. Ordering Information5.1
26、 All shapes covered by this specification shall be orderedusing the proper callout designation (see 4.5).6. Physical Property Requirements6.1 The physical property values listed within this specifi-cations tables are to be considered minimum specificationvalues. Any requirement for specific test dat
27、a for a givenproduction lot should be specified at the time of order. Physicalproperties for products not yet included in Table S-TPES maybe specified using Table 1 for extruded or compression moldedproducts.7.
