N I MA Report of the Molded Section - . C. Shuman, Chairman 1 Dimensions in the Industry From the survey of members on the dimensions within the scope of the nesting system, there is general good agreement on which sizes would be considered the industry standards for nesting. They will lead to publiciation in cooperation with Committee C-16 ASTM of "nesting sizes". There are still a few sizes on which there has been question, but these should be resolved shortly so that thicknesses will conform to the new Federal requirements for both fibrous and solid materials. These new specifications are more realistic than older ones because they include both a plus and a minus tolerance* The newly proposed MXL-I-002819b for Block, which adds a 1500 2000 F class, has tolerances on width and length but not on thickness. Jack Barchart will call this to the attention of the issuing agency, 2. Since ASTM C-344 and C-345 on Pipe and Block have been, approved. Jack Barnhart will ask for a change in HH-I-523 that recognizes the new ASTM requirements, 3, New Federal specs are M2L-I*2781c for Pipe and MlL-I-002819b^ in tentative form but are apparently being used.
