The insulators shell meet the requirements of ANSI standards C29,2/1977. Where the requirements of this specification in respect of any feature of design, construction or performance are in conflict with the above standards, this speci- fication shall prevail. 2, Design ond Fabrication 2.2. Surfaces of porcelain shélls shall be free from uneveness and rough particles, ‘and the entire surface that will be exposed after assembly shall be brown glazed to give a smooth finish of uniform color not mottled, Glaze shall be unaffected by sudden changes of temperature, and shall be immune to the effects of ozone, acids or alkali dust which may be encountered within the atmospheric range of normal service conditions. All exposed glass parts shall hava a smooth surfans a te 2.2," Metal parts, except for otter pins, shall be made of &.good commercial grade of malleable iron or opon hearth or electric furnace steel, hot-dip galvanized in accordance with tho latest xevisexof GR-161 Specification for Zinc Coating (Hot-dip) on,iron steel and Steel Hardware. Cotter pins shall be made of stainless steel 18¢r ~ 8Ni or phosphor bronze. 2,3. The cement which ic used shall be suitable, that no fracture by expansion Gr loosening by contraction is caused. 3. Merking ” 7 Each insulator-unit shall bear legible and indelible the following chara~ cteristics ; (1) Symbols identifying the manufacturer, (2) Year of manufacture (3) The rated combined M +B strength, in pounds, identifies by the “vord TEST (According to ANSI 629. asin) “# Marking on porcelain shall be printed, not impressed, and shall bo applied vefore firing. 4. Tests The tests are divided into three groups as follows + Design tests Quality conformance tests (Sampling tests) Routine tests ‘ GRAS.4.1, Design teste They are made on inéulators taken from the first lot offered for accept~ anée.

The quality index Gs has to be equal to or greater than 1,65, The quality index is defined by GR-475Where : Ry: is tho spocificd combinod M4+B strength is the avorege value obtained on the sample of 15 insulators my a is the standard deviation for the 15 insulators tested. S shall be computed according to para 8.3.4 of ANSI 6-29.2/1977 4.1.9. Cotter key test The test shall be made in accordance with para 8.2.9 of ANSI C~29,2/1977 They are made on’insulators taken from each lot. For the purpose of this specification the number of insulators per lot shell not be greater than 5.000 pieces. Quality conformance tests shall be made.as follows + 4.2.1. Visual _and Dimensional tests The tests shall be made in accordance with para 8.3.1 of ANSI C~29.2/1977 4.2.2. Impact test The test shall be made in accordance with pera 8.2.8 of ANSI C-29.2/1977 4.2.3.
