18、4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS *4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the supplier is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or order, the supplier m
19、ay use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to
20、 assure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements. 4.2 Sampling, Unless otherwise specified and when applicable, the sampling plans and procedures used in the determination of the acceptability of products submitted by a supplier shall be in accordance with the provisions of MIL-STD-1
21、05. 4.3 Selection of test samples. For the purpose of selecting samples and performing tests hereunder, the term “lot” shall be used to designate consecutive quantities of 100 finished shot lines. Sample selection of 5-foot unit lengths shall be made from each lot as required for the tests of 4.4.1
22、through 4.4.7. Each shot line shall be of sufficient length to permit removal of at least a 5-foot test sample without reducing the remaining total continuous length in the shot line below 550 k 15 feet. Also, in addition to the above samples, one completed shot line coil shall be taken from each lo
23、t. Licensed by Information Handling ServicesMIL-L-1 8925A (OS) 4.4 Test methods. 4.4.1 Strength. A minimum load of 125 pounds shall be applied to samples selected in accordance with MIL-STD-105, code letter C, acceptable quality level (AQL) 4.0 percent. This load shall be applied at a slow rate to t
24、he line having a free length of approximately 24 inches. The full static load of 125 pounds shall be suspended by the line under the test for a period of not less than 10 minutes without breaking. 4.4.2 Elongation. A 5-inch gauge length shall be marked off between the support and the applied load on
25、 the line to be tested with the line under an initial load of one-half pound. This test sample shaIl not have been subjected to a load greater than one-half pound before applying gauge marks as above. The-se marks may be followed with a measuring instrument as tension is increased to the maximum loa
26、d of 125 pounds and suspended for a period of 10 minutes as specified in 4.4. l. This test shall be performed in conjunction with the test specified in 4.4. l. Calculate the percentage increase in distance between these marks as follows: Percentage increase = - (b-a) 100 a where a = initial length b
27、etween marks, inches b = final length between marks, inches. The elongation shall be within the limits specified in 3.4 with acceptance criteria as described in 4.4. l. 4.4.3 Shrinkage. Samples selected in accordance with MIL-STD-105, code letter C, AQL 4.0 percent, shall be tested for shrinkage as
28、follows: Apply a static load of 10 pounds to the line at a slow rate. Mark off a 40-inch gauge length on the line between the support and the static load. Then remove the load from the line and immerse the sample line in a fresh water bath for a period of 15 minutes, with the water temperature maint
29、ained at 200 f 2 F. Remove the line from the water bath and again apply a static load of 10 pounds. Measure the distance between gauge marks again. Calculate the percentage in distance between these marks as follows: Percentage decrease = - (c-d) 100 C 5 Licensed by Information Handling ServicesMIL-
30、L-1 8925A (OS) where c = initial length between marks, inches d = fia1 length between marks, inches. The shrinkage shall be within the limits specified in 3.4. 4.4.4 Picks per inch. The picks per inch of line in the sleeve shall be counted with the line under a tension of one-half pound. The picks p
31、er inch shall be within the limits specified in 3.4. Samples selected in accordance with MIL-STD-105, code letter C, AQL 4.0 percent, shall be used to determine lot acceptance for this test. 4.4.5 Yardage per pound. The yardage per pound of line shall be determined with the line under tension not to
32、 exceed 2 pounds, then this length of line weighed. Calculate the yardage per pound from such data. Samples selected in accordance with MIL-STD-105, code letter C, AQL 4.0 percent, shall be used for determining the lot acceptance for this test. The yardage per pound of line shall be within the limit
33、s specified in 3.4. 4.4.6 Function test. Coils shall be selected and tested in accordance with MIL-STD-105, code letter B, AQL 1.5 percent, in order to determine that it will retain its shape and the line will pay out properly from the coil. The coil shall retain its shape after removal from the woo
34、d spindle. Under normal atmospheric conditions, hold the coil approximately 3 feet above a surface with the large diameter of the spindle hole pointing downward; then give the line an initial start by pulling downward on the free end of the line from the center of the coil. After about 30 feet has p
35、aid out, the remaining line shall pay out freely from the coil by the force of gravity. Continue to hold the coil in this position until the line has completely paid out. 4.4.7 Length of shot line. The line tested under 4.4.6 shall be measured with the line under no tension to determine the total co
36、ntinuous length of line per shot line coil. The total length shall be within the limits specified in 4.3 with the sample judged at an AQL of 1.5 percent. After measurement for determining the total length, this line may be rewound into a production shot line and returned to the lot from which it was
37、 taken. “4.5 Additional tests. If it is found that it is necessary to make additional tests or select additional samples not previously specified that should be made in the process of manufacture, the procedure therefore will be determined by the procuring activity. Unless otherwise specified, FED-S
38、TD-191 may be referred to as a guide for the general physical and cllemical methods for testing textiles. Licensed by Information Handling ServicesMIL-L-1 8925A (OS) 4.6 Rejection. Failure of a test sample in any test specified herein shall be cause for . rejection of the lot from which the test sam
39、ple was taken. Rejected lines and used samples shall be returned to the initial nylon manufacturer for reprocessing of the nylon thread. r - 4.7 Retesting of rejected lots. Rejected lots may be offered again for acceptance provided the contractor has repaired or removed all nonconforming nylon line.
40、 Samples from such resubmitted lots shall be selected and examined to determine compliance with this specification. 5. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY *5.1 Packaging. Each spool of line shall be packaged in accordance with MIL-STD-726, method IC, modified as follows: The line shall be packaged in a transpa
41、rent barrier bag made of material conforming to MIL-B-2219 1 , type II. A single thickness may be used for items weighing up to 10 pounds, and at least two thicknesses shall be used for items weighing more than 10 pounds. Each package shall have a polyurethane foam ring placed on the protruding end
42、of the wooden spindle to prevent puncturing of the transparent barrier bag. This cushioning ring shall be 3 inches in diameter with a 1-inch-diameter hole in the center and shall be 1 inch thick. The ring shall be made of polyurethane foam conforming to 0 MIL-P-O0265 14, type I, class 2, grade A. *
