4.4.3 End item dimensional examination. The end item shall be examined for conformance to
the dimensions specified in Table III and 3.8. Any finished garment dimensions not within the specified
tolerance shall be classified as a major defect. The lot size shall be expressed in units of swimmer
trunks. The sample shall be one swimmer trunk. Any construction and/or component dimensions that
affect form, fit or function shall be classified as major. Any construction dimensions that do not affect
form, fit or function shall be classified as minor defects.
4.4.4 Compressive strength. Compressive strength of the buttons shall be conducted using
apparatus which permits gradual application of the load either by manual or automatic application of the
load either by manual or automatic mechanism. The instrument gage shall be calibrated that the load
deflection at the point of failure is at least one third of the total capacity of the gage. Buttons shall be
placed face down one at a time between flat blocks of steel and tested to failure. Failure is define as the
first sign of a crack in the button visible to the naked eye (a visible crack in the button will usually be
found at the first audible sound of cracking). The load in pounds, which produces this failure, shall be
recorded as the compressive strength of the button. Extreme care shall be taken to apply the pressure
centrally and evenly over the entire surface of the button, which is in contact with the steel blocks. The
results for all the buttons in the sample shall be averaged and reported to the nearest pound. Failure of
the average to conform to the specified requirements shall be considered a test failure.
