4.3.2 Sampling tests.
4.3.2.1 Type I and III tank sampling. Unless otherwise specified by the procuring activity,
one tank shall be selected from the first 100 tanks or less, plus one tank from each 1,000 tanks
thereafter or fraction thereof, and shall be subjected to the following sampling inspections:

b. Proof pressure
4.5.26
c. Burst pressure
4.5.27
d. Simultaneous slosh and vibration
4.5.6
e. Low temperature leakage
4.5.22
4.3.2.2 Type II tank sampling. Production tanks shall be subjected to the stand test in
accordance with 4.5.2. Each part number shall be treated as a separate order in determining the
applicable sampling requirement. If failures occur, corrective action shall be taken to correct the
discrepancy (see 4.3.2.4). The procuring activity shall establish sampling requirements.
4.3.2.3 Dissection test sampling (Type II and III tanks only). The procuring activity shall
specify whether the dissection test is to be a periodic sampling test or a contingency option.
4.3.2.3.1 Dissection test (sampling plan). The dissection test shall be designated as a
mandatory sampling test for tanks incorporating newly developed materials or manufacturing
processes. For this test, tanks selected at random and at a frequency specified by the procuring
activity shall be dissected in accordance with figure 1 and subjected to the dissection test of
4.5.3.
4.3.2.3.2 Dissection test (contingency option). During cell acquisitions in which the
dissection test is not required as part of a periodic sampling plan, the procuring activity shall
invoke a dissection test as a contingency option in the event that other acceptance tests or service
use discloses chronic deficiencies in materials or manufacturing processes (see 4.3.2.4), or when
