DEFINITION
Classification: 427/8
(under the class definition) Processes which include sampling, visually or audibly inspecting, chemically testing, or otherwise physically or mechanically determining some variable condition of the coating.
(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. Recitations of optimum or desired temperatures or pressures are considered nominal where no measurement is made and are classified with the disclosed process on some other basis. Merely dispensing the coating material even if
described as metering it out is excluded herefrom since it does not involve any specific measuring.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
1, for fingerprinting.
7, for a coating process which enhances detection of fraud or tampering.
SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 73, Measuring and Testing, for testing, per se.
156, Adhesive Bonding and Miscellaneous Chemical Manufacture,
64, for testing, measuring and inspecting when combined with a laminating step.
264, Plastic and Nonmetallic Article Shaping or Treating: Processes,
40.1, 40.7 for testing, measuring and inspecting when combined with a molding step.
