Occupations | Inspects and tests polyethylene and cellophane sheets or bags for surface defects, dimensional accuracy, strength, and clearness of print to verify conformance to specifications, and to assist production personnel in solving quality control problems. Inspects sample sheet to detect surface defects, such as bubbles, pattern defects, and haze variations. Measures thickness of sample, using micrometer, and weighs sample to determine compliance to specifications. Tests sample strips in pull-tester machine, impact tester, and stress-flex test machine to determine strength, tenacity, and flexibility. Places adhesive paper on printed section, pulls paper from printed section, and examines adhesive for ink to verify stability of print. Writes inspection and testing reports and confers with production personnel to determine cause of deviations from qualitative standards. (references) |
| Tests charcoal briquettes at end of processing to verify conformance to specifications: Removes bag of briquettes from packaging line periodically and carries briquettes to testing laboratory. Grinds specified quantity of briquettes, using hand grinder, places grounds into moisture-testing equipment, and observes moisture meter to determine moisture content of sample. Saturates stacked briquettes with fire-starter fluid, ignites briquettes, and observes burning characteristics of briquettes and time required for white ash to form over briquette surfaces. Places prescribed number of briquettes in burner pot, ignites briquettes, and observes heat sensor dial to determine temperature released by burning briquettes. Weighs briquettes. Records test results on test report forms. (references) | |
| Tests hosiery to verify conformance to plant quality standards or to obtain data for use in establishing quality standards for new styles: Measures overall length, and length of toe, foot, heel, welt, and after welt, with scale. Determines stretch of welt, knee, ankle, and instep, using weighted stretch machine. Tests tensile strength of hose at knee on stretch flex machine. Ascertains number of stitches per inch, using stitch counting machine. Examines samples of hose in production and defective hose returned by purchasers to find knitting, seaming, looping, or dyeing defects, using magnifying glass. Determines cause of defect, basing judgment on knowledge of production methods. Records results of findings. (references) | |
| Tests samples of wood products to determine fiber content and strength, using test equipment and standardized formula: Gathers samples, such as particleboard and wood shavings, from production areas. Weighs wood shavings before and after drying process and computes weight variances for cost analysis purposes, using scale, calculator, and formula. Conducts pressure and strength tests on particleboard to determine quality control standards, such as moisture content, strength, and resistance, using test equipment. Records test results on company chart. (references) | |
