24、 to eliminate O exceptionally lightweight pieces practice of comparing the weight of several pieces of like size. Pieces with a specific gravity of less than 0.40 (25 pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft3) for cedar or less than 0.45 (28 lb/ft3 for mahogany or Douglas fir, based on oven-dry weight and oven-

35、 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS . 4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the
36、contractor may 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
37、necessary to assure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-L-2594D 4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items must meet all requirements of sections 3 and 5. The inspection se
38、t forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractors overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of assuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Governm
39、ent for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling in quality conformance does not authorize submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to acceptance of defective material. 4.2 Inspection lot. All lumber of one type an
40、d class which is offered for delivery at one time shall be considered a lot for purposes of inspection. 4.2.1 Quantity. The quantity of lumber in the lot shall be determined by tally, in accordance with commercial practice. 4.3 Sampling for dimensions and moisture content. Sample pieces of lumber sh
41、all be selected at random from each lot in accordance with MIL-STD-105 at Inspection level II and acceptable quality level (AQL) 4.0 percent defective for the examination and tests specified in 4.4.2 and 4.5.1. I I 4.4 Lot acceptance examination and tests. 4.4.1 Visual examination. Each piece of lum
42、ber in the lot shall be visually examined to determine compliance with the requirements of this specification for species, defects, and absence of insect infestation and decay. Lightness (see 3.5) shall be determined during the visual examination and questionable pieces shall be tested in accordance
43、 with 4.5.2, if necessary. rejected. Nonconforming pices shall be 4.4.1.1 Species. Samples of lumber of doubtful species shall be forwarded to a laboratory designated by the contracting activity for positive identifica- tion (see 6.8). 4.4.1.2 Slope of grain. Slope of grain shall be measured on each
44、 face and edge independently over a distance sufficient to determine the general slope. Slight local variations around permissible defects shall be disregarded. 4.4.1.3 Measurement of knots or holes. The diameter of knots or holes shall be determined in accordance with the methods 201a and 201b of t
45、he WCLIB Grading Rules. I 4.4.2 Dimensions and moisture content. Each sample piece selected in accordance with 4.3 shall be examined for conformance to the requirements of this specification for dimensions and tested for moisture content (see 4.5.1). Sample pieces which do not meet the requirements
46、shall be rejected. If the number of reject pieces found in any sample exceeds the limits for the AQL specified in 4.3 for that sample, the lot represented by the sample shall be rejected. nonconforming pieces have been removed from the lot. Rejected lots may be resubmitted for examination and tests

Moisture content shall be determined by one of the methods described in ASTM D 2016. Electric meter
48、s shall be used only if provided with correction factors for these species. 4.5.2 Specific gravity. Specific gravity shall be determined by method 1 described in 4.5.2.1 or method 2 specified in 4.5.2.2. 4.5.2.1 Method 1. Specific gravity is the ratio of the volume below the waterline (see figure 1)
49、 to that of the whole piece. This method consists of the following steps: (a) From the lumber to be tested, cut a piece about 1 by 1 by (b) (c) 12 inches, with the 12-inch dimension along the grain. Dry the piece at 212 to 221 degrees Fahrenheit (OF) for 48 hours or until it reaches constant weight. Quickly dress the piece so that the cross section is rec- tangular and uniform throughout the length, and trim it to exactly 10 inches in length. Mar
