4.4.5 End item testing. The completely fabricated tent section shall be tested as specified in
4.5.2 for compliance with 3.3.7. The lot shall be expressed in units of completely fabricated tent
sections. The sample unit shall be one completely fabricated end section or intermediate section, as
applicable. The inspection level shall be S-3. Each sample unit shall be tested in two specific areas and
the results shall be reported as pass or fail. Failure in any area shall be cause for rejection of the lot.
4.4.6 Packaging examination. The fully packaged end items shall be examined for marking,
materials, workmanship and content defects.
4.5 Methods of inspection.
4.5.1 Moisture content of wood toggles. The moisture content of wood toggles shall be
determined in accordance with the oven-drying method referenced in ASTM D 2016.
4.5.2 Wicking of sewing thread (cup test). The tent sections shall be tested in two areas as
follows: At a roof panel lap seam and on an eave purlin or header reinforcement seam.
4.5.2.1 Procedure. Suspend the seamed section of the test fabric in the center of a 6 + 1/8
inch diameter hoop and form a depression with the seamed fabric in the hoop to a depth of 1 + ¼ inch.
Slowly pour 500 ml of water at 77o + 4oF into the cupped area (depression) and observe the under
surface of the fabric for water penetration. Any wicking of water along the sewing thread, identified by
a discoloration or darkening of the thread within 5 minutes after water is poured shall constitute a failure.
Water leakage through the needle holes or between the plies of the lapped seam fabric shall not be
considered a failure.
