4.3.1 In-process inspection. The first production tank truck being produced under the contract shall receive an in-process inspection prior to prime painting and prior to mounting on the vehicle chassis. The inspection shall be conducted to evaluate manufacturing procedures, workmanship, welding specimens and welding procedures.

4.3.1.1 Workmanship. The truck body and manufacturing procedures shall be visually inspected for conformance to 3.5.5, 3.12 and 3.14. All welds on stainless steel body materials shall be inspected with a magnet to verify that they have been made with stainless steel electrodes or filler rods.

4.3.1.2 Joint specimens. The contractor shall present for Government inspection and approval the joint test specimens subjected to the tensile test required by 49 CFR,
