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

10.2.4 If all measurements on each sample specimen conform to the minimum thickness requirement for the particular
grade represented, the lot shall be considered satisfactory.
10.2.5 If any measurement fails to conform to the minimum
thickness requirement for the particular grade it represents, an
equal number of sample strands, similar in appearance and
selected adjacent to the original sample strands, shall be sent to
a laboratory designated by the purchaser for the microscopic
measurement test method of coating thickness (see 10.3).
10.3 Microscopic Test Method:
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.
F 1267 01
SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
The following supplementary requirements shall apply only when specified by the purchaser in the
contract or purchase order (see 4.1.8).
delivery. The sample unit for each phase shall be one container
fully prepared for delivery.
S2.2.3.1 The inspection level shall be S-2 in accordance
with MIL-STD-105, with an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL)
of 4.0 defects per 100 units.
S2.3 Inspection of Packaging:
S2.3.1 Sample packages and packs and the inspection of the
preservation-packaging, packing, and marking for shipment
and storage shall be in accordance with Supplementary Requirement S2 and the documents specified therein.

S3.3 Visual and Dimensional Inspection:
S3.3.1 Each of the sample expanded metal sheets selected in
accordance with Table S3.1 shall be visually and dimensionally
inspected to verify compliance with this specification.
S3.3.2 Any expanded metal sheet in the sample containing
one or more visual or dimensional defects shall be rejected, and
