ACCEPTANCE SAMPLING OF STRUCTURAL PAINTS

This report describes an investigation of acceptance sampling procedures for structural paints. The general paint manufacturing process is briefly described. Historical data on frequency of rejections under specifications formerly in force were analyzed, resulting in some changes in those for viscosity. New York State Materials Method 6 and Federal Test Method Standard 141a (Method 1021, which cover paint acceptance testing, are compared. Current sampling plans are discussed and analyzed and a suggested revision to the container sampling scheme is presented.
