Tests specifications

Having set up the ultrasonic instrument (according to test specifications), the inspector scans the weld volume. Any indications subject to recording are interpreted and documented in a handwritten on-site report. The test report only describes the indications detected by the inspector, but not the completeness of the lest in the sense of a documented 100% volume testing as is the case with X-ray testing. 

The ultrasonic instrument will be set up according to the test specification in the common way. Connection of the instrument to the ISONIC extends the flaw detector performance instrument to a reliable ultrasonic testing system which provides full documentation of the scan. 

Even now the operator should be able to change the instrument sensitivity, e.g. to evaluate an echo which exceeds the upper limit of the screen, or which is too small, or simply to follow the mles of the test specification requiring a so-called search sensitivity. Even after changing the gain, any echo evaluation will be correct, since the registration curve will be adjusted automatically to always maintain the correct relationship between the defect echo and the registration curve. 

Acryhc fibers discolor and decompose rather than melting when heated, but they have very good color and heat stabihty at temperatures less than I20°C. In a study by American Cyanamid (using Federal Test Specification TT-P-I4Ia. Method 425.2) the yeUowness of acryhc fiber was measured as a function of temperature. Compared to a value of 0.0 for a pure white body, the original fiber had a yeUowness index of 0.04—0.10. After 30 minutes of exposure at II5°C the yeUowness increased only slightly to 0.II—0.17. After 6 h at I30°C, however, the yeUowness increased to 0.38—0.41.

There are numerous publications [9,10,16,19-24] and test specifications [8,25] on the formation of cathodic blisters. They are particularly relevant to ships, marine structures and the internal protection of storage tanks. Blister attack increases with rising cathodic polarization. Figures 5-6 and 5-7 show the potential dependence of blister density and the NaOH concentration of blister fluid, where it is assumed that c(Na ) and c(NaOH) are equal due to the low value of c(Cr) [23]. 

Product specifications should specify requirements for the manufacture, assembly, and installation of the product in a manner that provides acceptance criteria for inspection and test. They may be written specifications, engineering drawings, diagrams, inspection and test specifications, and schematics. With complex products you may need a hierarchy of documents from system drawings showing the system installation to component drawings for piece-part manufacture. Where there are several documents that make up the product specification there should be an overall listing that relates documents to one another. 

The design verification plan should be constructed so that every design requirement is verified and the simplest way of confirming this is to produce a verification matrix of requirement against verification methods. You need to cover all the requirements, those that can be verified by test, by inspection, by analysis, by simulation or demonstration, or simply by validation of product records. For those requirements to be verified by test, a test specification will need to be produced. The test specification should specify which characteristics are to be measured in terms of parameters and limits and the conditions under which they are to be measured.

An additional benefit of intrinsically safe systems is the reduction of electrical shock hazards. It is cautioned, however, that intrinsically safe systems are not necessarily tested specifically for personnel shock hazards. 

Note that in lieu of testing, Par (b) 2 and (b) 3 above allows the use of a capacity factor of 0.80 as a multiplier on the stamped capacity of the spring loaded safety relief valve (nozzle bpe). Some manufacturers test specific valve/rupture disk combinadons and determine the actual capacity factor for the combination, and then use this for the net capacity determination. See Figures 7-10, 7-11, 7-12, 7-13A and 7-13B. c. A rupture disk de ice may be installed on the outlet side of a spring loaded safety relief valve...

It should be noted that test information would vary with specimen thickness, temperature, atmospheric conditions, and different speed of straining force. This test is made at 73.4°F (23°C) and 50% relative humidity. For brittle materials (those that will break below a 5% strain) the thickness, span, and width of the specimen and the speed of crosshead movement are varied to bring about a rate of strain of 0.01 in./in./min. The appropriate specimen size are provided in the test specification. 

Description of samples tested, specific test methods used, exposure medium notes, solubility parameters, and other important details are provided. Emphasis is on providing all relevant information so the most informed conclusions and decisions can be made by the user. Over 60,000 individual entries (specific tests) are covered in the database. Classes of materials covered include thermosets, thermosetting elastomers, thermoplastics, and thermoplastic elastomers. Approximately 700 different trade name and grade combinations representing over 130 families of materials are included. Over 3300 exposure environments are represented.

In another concrete example of use, the Ugi reaction served as a prominent example to test the performance of one micro mixer and to test specifically the effect of micro mixing on such a multi-stage reaction [25].

ANSWER Well, that certainly would be one of the things we would like to find some way of testing specifically. 

Nevertheless, the acquisition of a sufficiently detailed body of physical information can allow a formulator to go far beyond the mere ability to cope with crises when they develop at unexpected times. For a well-understood system, it is theoretically possible to design an automated or semi-automated manufacturing scheme for which the processing variables would be appropriately controlled so as to minimize the possibility of batch failure. Materials passing the hurdles of physical test specifications would be totally predictable in their performance, and they could therefore be blended, granulated, dried, compressed, and delivered into containers without operator intervention. 

A common regulatory system, prescribing identical fire classifications based on unified test specifications, for materials in the same usage, cannot be obtained by the end of 1992. It is a much longer term objective.
