9. Quality
9.1 The surface of the casting shall be examined visually
and shall be free of adhering sand, scale, cracks, and hot tears.
Other surface discontinuities shall meet the visual acceptance
standards specified in the order. Visual Method SP-55 or other
visual standards may be used to define acceptable surface
discontinuities and finish. Unacceptable visual surface discontinuities shall be removed and their removal verified by visual
examination of the resultant cavities.
9.2 When additional inspection is desired, Supplementary
Requirements S4, S5, and S10 may be ordered.
9.3 The castings shall not be peened, plugged, or impregnated to stop leaks.
