4. 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 (examinations and tests) as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the 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 this specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.

4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items shall meet all requirements of sections 3 and 5. The inspection set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractor's overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling inspection, as part of the manufacturing operations, is an acceptable practice to ascertain conformance to requirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to accept defective material.

4.2 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows:

(a) Qualification inspection (see 4.3).

(b) Quality conformance inspection (see 4.4).

4.3 Qualification tests. Qualification tests shall be conducted at a laboratory satisfactory to NAVSEA. Qualification tests shall consist of the examination of 4.5 and the tests specified in 4.6.

4.4 Quality conformance inspection. Quality conformance inspection shall be in accordance with 4.4.1 through 4.5 (see 6.3).

4.4.1 Lot. For purposes of sampling, a lot shall consist of not more than 5,000 pounds of unmixed ingredients. When latex, resin emulsion, base material, or aggregate is purchased separately or shipped from different locations to the place of installation, a lot shall consist of not more than 100 gallons offered for delivery at one time.

4.4.2 Sampling for quality conformance inspection. From each lot, a sufficient quantity of unmixed ingredients shall be selected for the single application of 9 square feet in area and 1/4-inch (approximate) thickness.

4.4.3 Quality conformance tests. The samples selected in accordance with

4.4.2 shall be mixed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and shall be subjected to the tests in table III.

TABLE III. Quality conformance.

4.4.3.1 Fire test. The fire resistance test (see 4.6.15) shall be conducted as part of the lot acceptance tests (of quality conformance inspection) once for every 50,000 pounds of unmixed ingredients offered for delivery under one or more contracts or orders. The contractor's records shall be used to determine quantities of material delivered (see 6.3).

4.4.3.2 Rejection. If any sample representing a lot is found not to be in conformance with this specification, this shall be cause for rejection of the entire lot. If a sample fails the fire resistance test, this test shall be conducted on every subsequent lot. When four successive lots have been accepted, this additional testing shall be discontinued and lot tests returned to the normal basis of 4.4.3.

4.4.3.3 Small lots. The tests of 4.4.3 shall not be required on any delivery of less than 2,000 pounds of unmixed ingredients. However, deliveries of small quantities that are not represented by tests shall be so identified in the contractor's records and when the accumulated total of such deliveries reaches 2,000 pounds, sample material shall be selected and subjected to the tests of 4.4.3.

4.5 Examination of filled containers. Each sample filled container shall be examined for defects of construction of the container and the closure, for evidence of leakage, and for unsatisfactory markings. Each filled container shall also be weighed to determine the amount of contents.

4.6 Test procedures.

4.6.1 Preparation of specimens. Specimens of the sizes specified in the following tests shall be made by mixing the deck covering in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The deck covering shall be troweled on 1/8-inch thick clean steel plates to a thickness of approximately 1/4 inch in one coat.

Sample preparation, curing, and testing shall be conducted at room temperature.

Samples shall be allowed to cure a minimum of 96 hours, but not longer than 336 hours. Curing shall begin the moment the material has been applied for the preparation of a test specimen. Type I materials shall be ground smooth with a power sander using number 60 paper without water, unless the manufacturer specifies another abrasive paper or procedure. Test specimens shall be finished and sealed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. For specimens intended for immersion tests where corrosion of the steel may occur, areas not covered by the deck covering compound may be protected by an anticorrosion coating.

4.6.2 Weight. The deck covering shall be applied to three 6-inch square, 1/8-inch thick mild steel plates that have been previously measured and weighed When the material has dried for 96 hours, the three test specimens and the steel plates shall each be weighed to the nearest 0.1 gram. The length and width shall be measured to the nearest 0.1 inch and the thickness to the nearest 0.001 inch.

The weight of the material shall be computed based on the difference between the weight of the covered steel plate and the uncovered steel plate. The final weight shall be the average of the three specimens. The thickness shall be determined by measuring the steel plates with and without the covering by means of a dial thickness gauge and a template at 16 equally distributed points on the specimen. The difference in thickness between the steel plate and the covered steel plate shall be averaged to determine the thickness of the material. The weight of the deck covering for a thickness of 1/4-inch shall then be computed.

4.6.3 Resistance to elevated temperature. Resistance of the material to elevated temperature shall be determined as follows:

4.6.3.1 Flow or slip. A 6-inch long by 2-inch wide specimen of the material prepared as specified in 4.6.1 shall be scribed with a line parallel to and approximately 1 inch from a 2-inch edge used as a reference. The distance between this line and the edge of the steel plate shall be measured to the nearest 0.01 inch. The specimen shall then be suspended vertically from the end opposite the reference end and in an oven maintained at a constant temperature of 158 degrees Fahrenheit (deg. F) for 5 hours. When the specimen has cooled to room temperature, the distance between the reference edge and line shall be measured again. The difference between the two measurements is called the flow or slip.

4.6.3.2 Softening. The deck covering shall be examined by touch immediately after the specimen has been removed from the oven to determine whether the material has softened under heat. There shall be no fingerprint impressions after sample is pressed with fingertips.

4.6.4 Nonslip properties. Two 2- by 4-inch specimens prepared as specified in 4.6.1 shall be used to determine the friction factors of the deck covering against leather and rubber respectively. The leather shall be oak-tanned sole leather that has been sanded smooth with 80 grit garnet paper. The rubber shall be a vulcanized compound, with a hardness range of 70 +/- 5 durometer A. Tests shall be made with the contact surfaces under three separate conditions: (1) dry,

(2) wetted with a solution of 4 percent sodium chloride salt in water, (3) SAE 1OW oil. A load of 33 pounds shall be applied uniformly over the specimen. The determination of static and sliding friction may be made by the inclined plane method or by determining the pull on a spring balance required to start the test piece from rest and then to maintain a constant velocity. The friction factor shall be the average of four readings for each of the three surface conditions.

4.6.5 Moisture absorption. Three 2-inch square by 1/4-inch thick specimens shall be prepared by applying the deck covering to oiled surfaces of the steel plate, so that upon drying the specimens will not adhere to the plates. Each specimen without a steel backing shall be tested in accordance with ASTM C 642.

4.6.6 Resistance to moisture and temperature changes. Two 2- by 6-inch specimens prepared as specified in 4.6.1 shall be immersed in a solution of 4 percent sodium chloride in water under a pressure of 8 pounds per square inch (lb/inÀ2Ù) for 48 hours. Immediately after immersion, the specimens shall be subjected to two complete cycles of alternate exposure to a temperature of O +/- 5 deg. F for 24 hours, followed by a temperature of 120 +/- 5 deg. F for 24 hours. The specimens shall then be examined for evidence of cracking or other failure. A portion of the deck covering shall be carefully removed from the plate to observe any signs of rusting or corrosion under the deck covering.

4.6.7 Oil resistance. Three 2-inch square by 1/4-inch thick specimens shall be prepared as specified in 4.6.1. The immersion medium shall be medium number 3 (high swelling) petroleum base oil as listed in accordance with method 6001 of FED-STD-601. Change in weight shall be determined in accordance with method 6251 of FED-STD-601, except that the immersion time shall be 24 hours.

The change in volume shall be determined in accordance with method 6211 of FED- STD-601, except that the immersion time shall be 24 hours.

4.6.8 Accelerated light and weather aging. Two 6- by 2-inch test specimens shall be prepared as specified in 4.6.1. One specimen shall be exposed to light from a flaming carbon arc such as an Eveready X-1a unit or equal for 200 hours and intermittently sprayed with tap water. The face of the material normally exposed in service shall be directed toward the light source. The light source and weathering unit, the method of calibrating or evaluating the light source, and the evaluation of total exposures to ultraviolet light shall be in accordance with ASTM D 750. The exposed surface of the test specimen shall be examined and compared with the unexposed test specimen with respect to discoloration, cracking, checking, crazing, or other signs of deterioration.

4.6.9 Corrosion resistance. Two 6- by 2-inch specimens prepared as specified in 4.6.1 shall be used. Each specimen shall be immersed in a 10 percent sodium chloride solution for 15 days, during which time a continuous stream of air shall be passed through the solution in order to promote corrosion.

The specimen shall then be examined to determine whether the material has softened or detached from the steel backing plates. A portion of the deck covering shall be removed carefully from the steel to observe any sign of rusting or corrosion of the steel plate beneath the deck covering.

4.6.10 Wear resistance. Wear testing shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM D 1242, method A using the machine specified in 4.6.10.1. Test specimens 3 inches long by 2 inches wide shall be prepared so that an area of approximately 6 square inches is presented to the abrasive in the machine specified in 4.6.10.1.

The abrasive grit shall be number 80 aluminum oxide. Before wear-testing, the thickness shall be measured at 12 equally distributed points on the specimen by means of a dial thickness gauge and a template. The specimen shall then be subjected to 1,500 revolutions of the wear testing machine, and the thickness measured at the same points previously measured. The differences in thickness shall be averaged to determine the thickness of material worn away by the abrasive.

4.6.10.1 Wear test machine. Wear testing shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM D 1242, method A, using the Navy Type Wear Tester (the Tinius Olsen Wearometer or equivalent.)

4.6.11 Adhesive strength. Eighteen specimens with a thickness of 1/4-inch and with an area of 4 square inches shall be prepared. These specimens shall be applied to 2 by 6 inches by 1/8-inch thick mild steel plates in such a manner that 1 inch of the steel plate is exposed along the entire length of one end and 3 inches is exposed along the opposite end. Specimens shall be tested by measuring the load required to shear the 2-inch square area of deck covering from the steel plate by means of the shear test jig shown on figure 1. After preparation, all specimens shall be allowed to set for 96 hours. Six specimens shall then be tested to determine the initial adhesive strength. Six specimens shall be tested after aging in an oxygen bomb for 96 hours under a pressure of 300 lb/inÀ2Ù and a temperature of 158 deg. F. The remaining six specimens shall be tested after a moisture and temperature cycle as specified in 4.6.6.

Specimens shall be tested by compression loading at a rate of 1/4-inch per minute. The load at failure and the average of six readings shall be recorded for computation of the adhesive strength in lb/inÀ2Ù for the respective conditions.

4.6.12 Impact resistance. Two 6-inch square specimens shall be prepared as specified in 4.6.1. Each specimen shall be tested separately and held on a solid, horizontal base. A 2-pound solid steel ball shall be dropped vertically from a height of 8 feet onto the deck covering so that the impact will be at the center of the specimen. Each specimen shall be subjected to two impacts of the steel ball.

4.6.13 Resistance to indentation.

4.6.13.1 Specimen. One 6-inch square specimen shall be prepared as specified in 4.6.1.

4.6.13.2 Procedure.

4.6.13.2.1 Indentation. Three indentations shall be made on the deck covering and the results averaged. The center of each indentation shall be not less than 1-1/2 inches from the edge of the specimen and not less than 2-1/2 inches from the center of the adjoining indentation. A load of 2,000 pounds shall be applied on the deck covering for 30 minutes by means of a flat-faced circular indenter. The indenter's flat face shall have an area of 1 square inch and its perimeter shall be rounded to a radius of 1/64-inch.

4.6.13.2.2 Thickness. Thickness readings shall be taken before and immediately after indentation at the center of each indented area. The initial indentation shall be taken as the difference in percent between the thickness of the deck covering before indentation and immediately after the load has been removed. The percent of indentation is calculated on the basis of the measured specimen thickness. The thickness measurements are made on both sides of the specimen using a micrometer dial gauge with a 4 ounce weight and a 1/4-inch diameter flat foot.

4.6.13.2.3 Special precautions. The surface of the indented specimen shall be kept parallel to the plane of the specimen mounting plate so that it travels perpendicular to that plane. In addition, the specimen mounting plate selected for the indentation test shall be checked for flatness before being used.

4.6.14 Shock resistance. Three 6-inch square by 1/4-inch thick specimens shall be centrally applied to three 8-inch square by 1/8-inch thick mild steel plates, so that a 1-inch wide portion of the steel plate is exposed along the periphery of the specimen. Each specimen shall be subjected to high impact shock in a testing machine conforming to MIL-S-901. Each specimen shall be centrally secured to the test plate of the testing machine by using eight 1/4-inch diameter machine screws equally located along the periphery of the specimen plate 1/2-inch away from the edge of the specimen steel plate. Each specimen shall then be subjected to a series of shocks consisting of consecutive blows of 100, 200, 400, 700, 1,000, 1,400, and 2,000 foot-pounds to provide an approximately uniform increase of striking velocity. The 2,000-foot-pound blow shall be immediately followed by a second 2,000-foot-pound blow. The specimens shall then be examined for chipping, cracking, or detachment from the steel backing plate.

4.6.15 Fire performance test. The material shall be tested in accordance with MIL-STD-1623.

4.6.17 Serviceability. The deck covering shall be applied in wet places aboard ship for a minimum service period of 6 months.

4.7 Inspection of Packaging. Sample packages and packs, and the inspection of the preservation, packing and marking for shipment and storage shall be in accordance with the requirements of section 5 and the documents specified therein.
