All workmanship shall be of the highest grade in accordance with the best modern practices to conform to the specifications for the item to be furnished. All similar parts shall be interchangeable. All sharp edges and corn ers shall be broken. All holes shall be normal to the surfaces of penetration and shall be sized as indicated on the reference drawing. 3.1. Dimensions and Tolerances. Tolerances for machine-finished surfaces designated by non-decimal dimensions shall be within +/- 0.010-inch unless otherwise noted on drawing 0500_0501SN.DGN. Dimensional tolerances to unfinished surfaces shall conform t o standard foundry and/or industry practice unless noted otherwise. Unfinished surfaces shall be true to the lines and dimensions given on the drawings and shall be chipped or ground free of all projections and rough spots. 3.2. Finished Surfaces. Surface finishes indicated on drawing number 0500_0501SN.DGN or specified herein shall be in accordance with ANSI B46.1, Surface Texture (Surface Roughness, Waviness and Lay). Values of required roughness heights are arithmetic al average deviation expressed in micro inches. These values are maximums. Lesser degrees will be satisfactory unless otherwise indicated on the drawings. Compliance with surface requirements shall be determined by sense of feel and visual inspection of the work compared to Roughness Comparison Specimens in accordance with the provisions of ANSI B46.1. Values of roughness width and waviness height shall be consistent with the general type of finish specified by roughness height. Where the finish is not indicated or specified, it shall be that which is most suitable for the particular surface, provide the class of fit required, and be indicated on the shop drawing by a symbol which conforms to ANSI B46.1 when machined finishing is provided. Flaws such a s scratches, ridges, holes, peaks, cracks or checks which will make the part unsuitable for the intended purpose will be cause for rejection. 3.3. Protection of Finished Work.

Information shall be included which renders the reports identifiable and traceable with the specific parts manufactured for the contract. 5. CASTINGS. Each casting shall bear cast or stamped mark numbers (VN-20R or VN-20L). Dimensions of c astings shown on the drawings shall be finished dimensions. Castings that are warped or otherwise distorted or that are oversized to an extent that will interfere with proper fit with other parts will be rejected. The structure of metal in castings shall be homogenous and free from excessive nonmetallic inclusions. Excessive segregation of impurities or alloys at critical points in castings will be cause for rejection. Repairs to castings shall not be made prior to approval. Minor surface imperfections not affecting the strength of the casting may be welded in the green if approved. Surface imperfections shall be considered minor when the depth of the cavity prepared for welding is the lesser of 20 per cent of the actual wall thickness or 1-inch. De fects other than minor surface imperfections may be welded only when specifically authorized in accordance with the following requirements: (1) The defects have been entirely removed and are judged not to affect the strength, use or machinability of the casting when properly welded and stress relieved. (2) The proposed welding procedure, stress relieving and method of examination of the repair work have been submitted and approved. 6. WELDING. Welding shall conform to the provisions of AWS D1.1, Section 1 through 6 and 8 unless otherwise specified. Welders and welding operators shall pass the certification tests prescribed by AWS D1.1, Section 4. 7. PATTERNS. Care shall be taken to avoid sharp corners or abrupt changes in cross section and ample fillets shall be used in the construction of patterns. Draft and increases in pattern thickness shall be added as required to conform to the standard fo undry practice applied and as necessary to insure that all metal thickness of the finished castings conform to the dimensions shown on the drawings. Patterns furnished by the contractor shall become the property of the government and shall not be used for work under any other contract unless specifically authorized by the contracting officer. 7.1.
