	Field determination of weight (mass) of coating is to be made on each lot of material furnished. The magnetic gauge is to be operated and calibrated in accordance with ASTM E 376. At least three members of each size and type offered for inspection are to be selected for testing. A single-spot test is to be comprised of at least five readings of the magnetic gauge taken in a small area and those five readings averaged to obtain a single-spot test result. Three such areas should be tested on each of the members being tested. Test each member in the same manner. Average all single-spot test results from all members to obtain the average coating weight (mass) to be reported. The minimum single-spot test result would be the minimum average obtained on any one member. Material may be accepted or rejected for galvanized coating on the basis of magnetic gauge. If a test result fails to comply with the specifications, that lot should be re-sampled at double the original [[106.3 Samples, Tests and Cited Specifications#106.3.1 Sampling\|sampling]] rate. If any of the resample members fail to comply with the specification, that lot is to be rejected. The contractor or supplier is to be given the option of sampling for Laboratory testing, if the magnetic gauge test results are within minus 15 percent of the specified coating weight (mass).

	[http://~~sharepoint~~/~~systemdelivery~~/br/Pages/default.aspx Bridge] will be responsible for the inspection of materials and fabrication associated with [https://www.modot.org/media/16927 Standard Plans 903.10], [https://www.modot.org/media/16928 903.12] and [https://www.modot.org/media/16929 903.60], with the exception of the actual signs attached to this material. Any remaining signing materials inspection is the responsibility of the district Construcion and Materials. Unless otherwise specified, district Construcion and Materials will inspect the galvanizing of all sign materials. High strength bolt assemblies (includes bolt, nut and washer) are subject to the requirements of the PAL program.

High strength bolt assemblies (includes bolt, nut and washer) are subject to the requirements of the PAL program.

	Field determination of weight (mass) of coating is to be made on each lot of material furnished. The magnetic gauge is to be operated and calibrated in accordance with ASTM E 376. At least three members of each size and type offered for inspection are to be selected for testing. A single-spot test is to be comprised of at least five readings of the magnetic gauge taken in a small area and those five readings averaged to obtain a single-spot test result. Three such areas should be tested on each of the members being tested. Test each member in the same manner. Average all single-spot test results from all members to obtain the average coating weight (mass) to be reported. The minimum single-spot test result would be the minimum average obtained on any one member. Material may be accepted or rejected for galvanized coating on the basis of magnetic gauge. If a test result fails to comply with the specifications, that lot should be re-sampled at double the original [[106.3 Samples, Tests and Cited Specifications#106.3.1 Sampling\|sampling]] rate. If any of the resample members fail to comply with the specification, that lot is to be rejected. The contractor or supplier is to be given the option of sampling for Laboratory testing, if the magnetic gauge test results are within minus 15 percent of the specified coating weight (mass).

	Polyurethane foam used for footings for embedded type signposts is to be accepted on the basis of manufacturer's certification and random sampling and testing. The manufacturer's certification is to show typical test results representative of the material and certify that the material supplied conforms to all of the requirements specified. Random samples are to be taken from approximately 10 percent of the lots offered for use. A sample is to consist of a portion of each component adequate in size to yield 2 cu. ft. of polyurethane foam, after mixing. ~~SiteManager~~ is to be used when submitting samples to the Central Laboratory. Very small quantities of polyurethane foam may be accepted on the basis of brand name and labeling, provided satisfactory results are obtained in the field.

	Flexible delineator posts are to be accepted on the basis of manufacturer and brand name approval, manufacturer's certification certifying that the posts and reflective sheeting furnished are of the same composition as originally qualified for manufacturer and brand name approval and in no way has been altered or changed, and field inspection for dimensions and workmanship. Samples are only to be taken when directed by the State Construction and Materials Engineer.
