43、out license from IHS-,-,-MIL-DTL-43992C 8 4.3.1 Component and material inspection. In accordance with 4.1, components and materials shall be inspected in accordance with all the requirements of referenced documents unless otherwise excluded, amended, modified, or qualified in this specification or a
44、pplicable purchase document. 4.3.2 End item examination. 4.3.2.1 Yard-by-yard examination. Each roll in the sample shall be examined on the face side only. 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 ro
45、ll exceeds 100 yards, only 100 yards shall be examined. All defects are defined in Section 1 of FED-STD-4, which are clearly noticeable at normal inspection distance (3 feet), shall be scored and assigned demerit points as listed in 4.3.2 except that only those slubs and knots which exceed the limit
46、s shown on Sears Fabric Defect Scales (see 6.5), E for slubs and B for knots, shall be scored. No linear yards (increments of 1 yard on the measuring device of the inspection machine) from any one roll within the sample shall be penalized more than four points. The sample size shall be 20 rolls sele
47、cted from 20 containers. The lot shall be unacceptable if the points per square yards of the total yardage examined exceeds 20.0 points. The lot shall be unacceptable if the points per square yards of two or more individual rolls exceeds 30.0 points. If one roll exceeds 30.0 points per square yards,
48、 a second sample of 20 rolls shall be examined only for individual roll quality. The lot shall be unacceptable if one or more rolls in the second sample exceeds the point level. 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
