5.9.2 CoatIng. All metal surfaces shall be coated to inhibit rust. Coatings shall be adherent, smooth, and continuous, and free horn pits, blisters, no4les, and any other conditions that would interfere with their protective value and serviceability
5.10 Marking
Pliers shall be marked in a plain and permanent manner with the manufacturer’s name or with a trademark of such known character that the source of manufacture and country of origin shall be readily determined. Marking shall be as permanent as the normal life expectancy of the pliers to which it is applied (providing the marked surface has not then been subjected to a fretting or abrading action) and be capable of withstanding the cleaning normally experienced during its intended use.
6 TEST PROCEDURES
6.1 Safety
WARNING: MANY TESTS REQUIRE!) HEREIN ARE INHERENTLY HAZARDOUS AND ADEQUATE SAFEGUARDS FOR
PERSONNEL AND PROPERTY SHALL BE EMPLOYED IN
CONDUCTING SUCH TESTS.
6.2 Cut Tests
Cut tests shall be performed per para. 5.2 of ASME 8107.25M. Wire diameter and handle load are shown in Table 2 herein,
6.2.1 Steel Wire. Steel wire for cut tests shall be uncoated single-stranded having minimum tensile strength of 180,000 psi (1240 MPa) for Style A 90,000 psi (620 MPa) for Style B; and 70,000 psi (400 MPa) forStyle C. Wire being cut may be loosely supported at thejawsby the operator in the manner ordinarily employed.6.2.2Steel wire Cut Test for Types l, lI, and m.Threecuts shall be made at the joint end of the cutting edges,and the load required to completely sever the wire shallnot exceed the maximum handle load. Load shall beapplied at the point of maximum handle curvature (nor-mal gripping position).
6.2.3 Steel Wire cut Test for Type V.A total of ninecuts shall be made.Three cuts shall made at the approxi-mate midpoint of the cutting edges, and the test loadrequired to completely sever the wire shall not exceedthe maximum handle load.Three cuts shall be made ateach end of the cutting edges with the wire located notmore than 0.13 in.(3.3 mm) from the respective ends.Load shall be applied at the point of maximum handlecurvature (normal gripping position). Load determina-tions shall not be required for cuts made at the ends ofthe cutting edges.
6.2.4 Paper Cut Test.Following wire cut test,thepaper cut test shall be performed per ASME B107.25M,para.5.2.2. The cutting edges shall completely andcleanly cut bond paper. Load shall be applied at thepoint of maximum handle curvature (normal grippingposition).
6.3 Hardness Test
Hardnesses specified herein shall be tested in accor-dance with ASME B107.25M, para.5.3.Handle hardnessdetermination shall be taken approximately midwaybetween the fastener and the end of each handle.
