(a) Minimum Average Roll Values (MARV) based on average of at least three tests per swatch. (b) Needle-punched nonwoven. Do not use thermally bonded (heat-set) fabric. (c) Adhere to this requirement if the contract requires or allows seams. Strength specifications apply to factory and field seams. Use thread for sewing that has strength of at least 25 lb . Sew seams with a Federal Type 401 stitch using a two-spool sewing machine, and install seams facing upward. For seaming with adhesives, see the Approved/Qualified Products List available at the Department’s website. (d) For U.S. sieve sizes, the AOS Number must be equal to or greater than the number specified. (e) Permittivity: P = K/L, where K = fabric permeability and L = fabric thickness.
