7.2 Expanded metal coated with zinc (hot-dipped galvanized) shall comply with Specification A 123/A 123M.
8. Sampling
8.1 Expanded metal sheets of the same material, type, class,
grade and dimensions, and manufactured under essentially the
same conditions, shall be considered a lot for purposes of
acceptance inspection and tests.
8.2 Sampling for Coating Thickness TestA random
sample of expanded metal sheets shall be selected from each
inspection lot (see 8.1) of Class 2 material, in accordance with
Table 5, and subjected to the zinc-coating thickness test
specified in 10.2 and 10.3.
9. Specimen Preparation
9.1 Coating Thickness Test Specimens Three test specimens in the form of single strands having a length of one or
more sides of diamond openings shall be selected from each
sample sheet at or near diagonally opposite corners and at the
center of the sheet.
9.1.1 The specimen strands shall be selected on the basis of
visual appearance to represent the minimum coating thickness
in the specified location.
9.1.2 When specified (see 4.1.7), each sample sheet from
which strands have been removed may be included in the lot to
be shipped, provided they meet the requirements of this
specification. Such sheets shall be distinctly tagged to indicate
that they shall be used for construction requiring less than a full
size sheet.
9.2 Microscopic Thickness Test SpecimensThe test specimens representing lots failing to meet the thickness of coating
requirements using the test method of 10.2 shall be prepared
for microscopic measurement of coating thickness.
9.2.1 The strand specimens shall be cut so that the cross
section surfaces are exposed at approximately the midpoint of
the strand length.
9.2.2 The specimens shall be prepared using acceptable
metallographic methods and the coating thickness measured
microscopically at a suitable magnification (see 10.3).
10. Test Methods
10.1 Testing of Sample Expanded Metal Sheets for Lot
Acceptance:
10.1.1 Each of the sample expanded metal sheets selected in
accordance with Table 5 shall be thickness tested in accordance
with 9.1 and 10.2 to verify compliance with the zinc coating
requirement of this specification.
10.1.1.1 Any sample expanded metal sheet that does not
meet the requirement for zinc coating thickness as determined
or under
to 300
to 1300
and over
F 1267 06
10.3.1 The coating thickness shall be measured microscopically at a suitable magnification. The minimum and maximum
coating thicknesses shall be measured on each of the four
exposed surfaces, but not at the corners.
10.3.2 The average coating thickness of each specimen shall
be computed and compared with the requirement. If any
average thickness value is less than the specified thickness, the
lot represented by the specimen shall be rejected.
11. Inspection
11.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchaser
order, the supplier is responsible for the performance of all
inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified, the supplier may use his own or any other
facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the purchaser.
11.1.1 The purchaser reserves the right to perform any of
the inspections set forth in the specification where such
inspections are deemed necessary to ensure that supplies and
services conform to prescribed requirements.
11.1.2 The absence of any inspection requirements in the
specification shall not relieve the supplier of the responsibility
of ensuring that all products or supplies submitted to the
purchaser for acceptance comply with all requirements of the
contract.
12. Packaging
12.1 Expanded metal shall be preserved and packed for
shipment in accordance with Practices A 700.
12.2 Packaging shall be suppliers commercial practice and
sufficient to afford adequate protection against deterioration
and physical damage during shipment from the supply source
to the using activity and until early usage.
SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
The following supplementary requirements shall apply only when specified by the purchaser in the
contract or purchase order (see 4.1.8).
S2.1.3 In addition to any special marking required by the
contract or order (see 4.1.8), marking for shipment shall be in
accordance with manufacturers standard practice.
S2.2 Examination of Preparation for Delivery:
S2.2.1 An examination shall be made to determine that
preservation, packaging, packing, and marking requirements of
the applicable contract or order are complied with. Defects
shall be scored in accordance with Table S2.1.
S2.2.2 The lot size shall be the number of shipping containers fully prepared for delivery, with the exception that containers need not be sealed or closed, and noninterior containers or
case liners need not be sealed (if applicable).
S2.2.3 Examination shall be made in two phases: (1) an
interior examination made prior to the sealing of the container
and (2) an examination of containers fully prepared for
delivery. The sample unit for each phase shall be one container
fully prepared for delivery.
