DEFINITION

Classification: 264/406

Measuring, testing, or inspecting:

(under subclass 405) Processes which includes a step of utilizing electrical, electromatic, magnetic, wave or particulate energy to audibly, chemically, mechanically, or physically determine some variable condition in a shaped article, molding material, mold or shaping surface.

(1) Note. Included herein are processes for determining imperfections or for determining completeness of a reaction or manipulation as well as determinations of undesired variations which activate correction mechanisms. Recitations of optimum or desired temperatures or pressures or proportions of ingredients are considered nominal only and are classified with the disclosed process on some other basis.
