SAMPLING
Qualification Test Samples
Qualification test samples shall consist of 50 feet (15m) of continuous marker material and the
appropriate number of finished markers necessary to run all the tests listed in the applicable
specification sheet. Qualification of any one size shall qualify all sizes in each applicable specification
sheet.
Acceptance Test Samples
Acceptance test samples shall consist of the appropriate number of finished markers necessary to run
the specified tests.
6.
PACKAGING
Packaging shall be in accordance with good commercial practice. Each package shall have an
identification label showing material quantity, description, size, color and batch number. Additional
information shall be supplied as specified in the contract or order.

7.3
Tensile Strength and Ultimate Elongation
7.3.1
Tubular Specimens
Test tensile strength and ultimate elongation on three specimens cut from unfinished tubing. The
specimens shall be in accordance with ASTM D 2671, using 1 inch (25mm) bench marks and a 2 inch
(50.8mm) initial jaw separation, at the speed specified in the applicable specification sheet.
7.3.2
Flat Specimens
Prepare 3 specimens in the form of 1/4 inch strips cut in the direction of extrusion from un-punched
strip. Use 1 inch (25mm) bench marks and 2 inch (50.8mm) jaw separation. Run at the speed
specified in the applicable specification sheet.
Note: test specimens should not be annealed before testing
7.4
Specific Gravity
Measure specific gravity on tubular and flat specimens in accordance with ASTM D2671.
7.5
Low Temperature Flexibility
7.5.1
Tubular Specimens
Recover three specimens over a stranded wire as described in Table 1. Condition the specimens and
wire for 4 hours at the temperature specified in the applicable specification sheet. While at this
temperature, bend the specimens through 90 degrees, in approximately 2 seconds, over a similarly
conditioned mandrel, selected in accordance with the appropriate table of the applicable specification
sheet, and examine the specimen for cracks.
7.5.2
Flat Specimens
Cut three samples, 6mm (1/4 inch) wide by 150mm (6 inch) long, from irradiated un-punched sheet.
Condition the specimens and wire for 4 hours at the temperature specified in the applicable
specification sheet. While at this temperature, bend the specimens through 90 degrees, in
approximately 2 seconds, over a similarly conditioned mandrel, selected in accordance with the
appropriate table of the applicable specification sheet, and examine for cracks.
