Occupations | Examines ceramic and porcelain products at various stages of manufacture for defects and adherence to standards: Examines ware surfaces for defects, such as pin marks, glaze runs, chips, cracks, mold marks, and deformities. Marks correctable defects with pencil, or finishes ware, using trimming tools, abrasives, and sponges. Feels edges (rims) and surfaces of ware with finger tips to detect rough spots. Smooths rough spots, using pumice stone or wet sponge and abrasive powder. Mixes ceramic and porcelain ingredients and examines mixture for foreign matter. May verify measurements of metal dies for machine forming presses, using calipers, gauges, and micrometers. Maintains records of test results, and prepares analysis of defect causes based on test results. May measure viscosity and specific gravity of mixed ceramic, porcelain, and glaze batches, using viscometer and volume device. May test durability of ware at prescribed temperatures, using electric oven. May conduct chipping test, using impact tester. (references) |
| Inspects hard-surface floor covering for pattern and color defects and grades it according to quality: Participates as crewmember to mount roll of finished floor covering on unwind stand. Signals ROLL-UP-GUIDER OPERATOR (fabrication, nec) 590.685-050 to start machine that pulls hard surface floor covering across cutting table. Examines material for flaws as it unwinds onto table. Marks defective areas with tape or cuts flag into material, depending upon length of defective area. Signals ROLL-UP-GUIDER OPERATOR (fabrication, nec) to cut defective sections from acceptable material. Resets counter after each split. Grades floor covering, based on knowledge of company standards. Removes sample of material for laboratory test. May measure thickness of materials to ensure compliance with specifications, using micrometer or snap gauge. May be designated according to floor covering inspected as Rug Inspector (fabrication, nec); Tile Inspector (fabrication, nec); Wide-Piece-Goods Inspector (fabrication, nec). (references) | |
| Examines shell and bomb explosive assemblies, such as time fuses, nose fuses, delay-action detonators, and relays, to determine their conformity to specifications: Inspects time fuses and nose fuses, observing packing of charge for firmness, tests action of plunger and restraining spring for freedom of movement, examines wiring for defective soldered connections, and examines shaping of metal. Tests interrupter action in revolving chuck. Gauges boosters for body length and lockpin length. Inspects detonators, relays, and primers, using magnifying glass to examine loading. Observes wet primers for evenness of charge. Reads data stamped on assemblies or on tag attached to assemblies to ensure that data is legible and complete. (references) | |
| Inspects finished concrete building products for flaws, finish, and conformance to dimensional specifications, using blueprints and precision measuring instruments: Compares dimensions of product, such as prestressed concrete building panels, conduit, and beams, with blueprints, using micrometer, calipers, fixed gauges, and rule. Examines products for flaws, such as cracks, warped sections, bent reinforcing rods, and surface or color irregularities. Rejects products not meeting specifications and notifies originating department to repair product or take measures to minimize future irregularities. May cast and crush sample concrete product in hydraulic press to test strength of concrete. (references) | |
| Examines mattresses and box springs for defects prior to packaging: Inspects surfaces for puckers, gathers, and irregular corners. Measures length and width of mattress and box spring to ensure conformity with specifications, using tape measure. Cuts loose threads and fabric ends from mattresses meeting standards and removes defective ones from conveyor. May use water on surfaces to shrink puckers, using spray gun. (references) | |
