6.6 Submission of acceptance inspection equipment designs for approval. Submit inspection

6.7 Blisters. It is generally accepted that blistering results from faulty winding techniques and
skips in the application of adhesive between the outer layers of the fiber container. Blistering is
not always immediately or readily apparent upon completion of the winding operation.
Blistering may appear after the containers have acclimated to ambient conditions. Exposure to
large changes in temperature and humidity also tends to aggravate the potential for blistering. If
there is a recent history of blistering or it is suspected that blistering may occur, it is
recommended that the containers be held at ambient conditions for at least 24 hours, and
preferably 48 hours, prior to final inspection for this defect.
