MIL-T-10727 Test Specimens

Metaspec manufactures test specimens used in quality assurance testing by MIL-T-10727. This Military Specification covers electrodeposited or hot-dipped tin plating for ferrous and nonferrous metals. The production or quality control requirements generally require that the tin-plated parts be tested for conformance to MIL-T-10727. However, some parts (due to shape or size) can't be tested. In those cases, the specification allows separate test specimens that are plated together with the other parts and then tested for conformance.
