Also remember that if a product is brought into a controlled lab environment it must be held and stabilized.
If a metal part is brought in from a production floor that is 95 degrees it should be held in the "controlled" environment to ensure that the normal expansion and contrtaction, due to temp change, is minimized.
I'm not sure where they are, but there are tables that can convert temperature expansion/contraction rates to reduce the "hold time" required for proper inspection.
Help from the Lab people please!
