Occupations | Inspects nonferrous metals and products, such as ingots, rods, sheets, plates, extrusions, and forgings, and records variations from standards and customer specifications: Verifies dimensions, using measuring instruments, such as ruler, micrometer, and vernier calipers. Examines metal for defects, such as scratches, wrinkles, inclusions, and discolorations, and outlines defective areas, using chalk. Tests hardness of metal [HARDNESS INSPECTOR (heat treating)]. Records variations from dimensional specifications, type of defect, and test results. Reports inspection results to machine operators or supervisor. Inspects packaged material and products for conformance with packing, labeling, and shipping procedures. May band and stencil containers as specified by shipping documents. May obtain samples of metal for laboratory analysis. (references) |
| Examines automatically cast toilet bowls for molding defects: Moves toilet bowls from casting and drying area to inspecting area, using handtruck. Examines exterior and interior surfaces of bowls for defects, such as shape distortion, chips, or cracks. Marks defective bowls to indicate type and location of defects, using marking pencil. Applies glaze to specified areas of bowls, using paint brush, to prevent cracking during subsequent finishing. Records number and types of defects on product identification tags for inventory and production records. Places boards on roller conveyor to support bowls, positions bowls on boards, and pushes inspected bowls along conveyor for further finishing. Returns defective bowls to casting area for reworking.

| Inspects wood frames and metal springs of upholstered furniture to ensure assembled parts meet company specifications: Examines wood furniture frames to detect defects, such as loose joints, splits, and warped areas. Marks defects with chalk for repair. Inspects metal springs installed in frames for defects, such as misalignment and faulty attachment to frame. Measures position of springs in frame, using ruler, to ensure assembly is mounted according to specification. Examines fabric covering spring assembly to ensure that fabric is taut and secured to springs. (references) | |
| Inspects finished plaster wallboard for conformance to specifications: Inspects sides, edges, and ends of wallbaord for surface defects. Measures length, width, and thickness, using rule and micrometer. Weighs sample on scale. Tests sample for hardness by penetrating board edge with knife. Cuts across board surface and observes peel-back of surface paper. Measures unabsorbed moisture in board, using moisture sensitive meter. Records quantity of board produced and number and types of rejects. May test hardness of wallboard, using hardness meter. (references) | |
| Inspects boxed matches to ensure that they meet product specifications: Opens sample cases of matches from each pallet load and inspects boxes for labeling and packing. Examines matches for quality of coating. Ignites several matches to ascertain that they strike and burn efficiently and safely. Routes rejected loads for further inspection, salvage, or disposal. May inspect match strip sections for defects, such as tears, unevenness, incomplete slitting, and compressed heads. (references) | |
| Inspects interior and exterior of bomb and artillery shell components for defects: Visually examines components to detect defective material and work quality, such as cracks or incorrect size. Verifies accuracy of critical dimensions, using direct-reading electric limit gauge. Pressure-tests welded joints to ensure airtightness, using compressed air and soap solution. Tests strength of fitted and welded joints, using special hydraulic equipment. (references) | |
