Multiple Choice

On a W-shaped column with specified thickness 1-7/16 inch, if all but two measurements exceed 1-7/16 inch, and the two below are 1-3/16 and 1-1/4 inch, the specimen is acceptable.

When evaluating thickness, you’re allowed a limited number of locations that can fall below the specified minimum. For this W-shaped column, the required thickness is 1-7/16 in. If all but two measurements meet or exceed that value, and the two that are below measure 1-3/16 in and 1-1/4 in, the specimen still meets the acceptance rule because only two locations are under the minimum. The shortfall at those two spots is 0.25 in and 0.1875 in, which stays within the allowed count of under-thickness readings. Therefore, the specimen is acceptable.
