REQUIREMENTS 3.0 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.4 MATERIAL TESTING 3.4.1 Preparation of Test Specimens Test specimens may be taken from ei
5、ther test sheets or molded parts. To insure a proper cutting of specimens, backup all test sheets/parts with cardboard or a rubber sheet. The test sheets shall have the following dimensions: 150 x 150 mm, min x 2.0 +/- 0.2 mm. . Tensile Strength per ISO 371/ASTM D 412, die C, full thickness. If the
