Grind, hone, or cup polish to 16 RHR maximum; use lubricant (light oil or soap solution). Grit blast with glass bead media (MIL-PRF-9954-MIL 10); use a 3/16 inch IDblasting nozzle (not supersonic type) 4 inches from ball at 75 PSI air pressure. The resulting surface finish should be less than 25 RHR.Perform final polish with SUPFINA Polishing Paste (Pink polishing paste, item code 10100244, Supfina Machine Company, NorthKingstown, RI).

Apply the SUPFINAPolishing Paste that is initially light pink in color over the entire surface of the ball with a brush and perform a low speed finishing process with both theball and a .250" thick wool pad (Style 22110, Aetna Felt Corporation,Allentown, PA^) turning at the same time with light pressure for approximately 30 seconds^^ (3 revolutions) of the entire surface of the ball. Once the light pink SUPFINA polishing paste that was applied to the surface of the ball turns a grey color, the finalfinishing process is complete. After the final finishingprocess is complete, the surface of the ball should have a matte dull appearance with a surface finish between RHR 12 and RHR 16.Clean ball with a warm, alkaline solution or a liquid nonionic detergent to remove SUPFINA polishing paste.^ Reference customer number PLI00499 when ordering wool pad.^^ CAUTION: Excessive time will cause the ball to be polished in violation of the process."3.8 Ball Spherical Surface Waviness - Unless otherwise specified on drawing, all sealing area surfaces must have a spherical surface waviness which does not exceed 0.0005 inches of height per inch of spherical surface.

Roughness and waviness ratings mustapply in a direction which yields the maximum rating, normally perpendicular to the lay.3.9 Seat Stack Height Measurement - To ensure that each seat is within tolerance, check each seat singularly by measuring the seat height over the ball. This measurement is calculated by adding one-half ball diameter to the half stack height dimension on thedrawing. Limits are determined by the ball diameter tolerance and the half stack height tolerance.

Check dimensions by measuring from the seat back face to top of ball. Manufacturers of seats that do not have a ball of the required size available will berequired to manufacture a dummy ball or segment of a ball with sufficient spherical surface to check the above dimension.3.10 A visual inspection shall be performed on the finished seat with acceptance criteria on critical surfaces per CSD167 in the ECDS (Electronic Contractor Data Submission) system at: https://register.nslc.navy.mil/.3.11 O-ring grooves and mating sealing surfaces must be inspected per the contractually invoked drawings or specifications. When the drawings or specifications do not provide specific defect criteria or state that no defects are allowed, the GeneralAcceptance Criteria (GAC) standard must be used for inspecting O-ring grooves and mating sealing surfaces only.

Repairs to sealing surfaces and O-ring grooves with unacceptable defects may be accomplished within the limits of the size and tolerances providedin the applicable drawing. Repairs thatwould exceed these limits require approval (including final dimensions). The data that is red lined (crossed out) is excluded from the GAC for this contract and is not to be used for acceptance or rejection criteria.The GAC document is identified as Contract Support Library Reference Number CSD008 at https://register.nslc.navy.mil/3.12 Welding or Brazing - When welding, brazing, and allied processes are required, as invoked by Section C paragraph 3 requirements, they must be in accordance with S9074-AR-GIB-010A/278, 0900-LP-001-7000 for brazing of piping and pressure vesselapplications, or S9074-AQ-GIB-010/248 for brazing of other applications.
