Abstract:  This test method provides a means of testing functional surfaces of plastic
components for gross surface morphology (imperfections or defects). It
applies to pipes, fittings, and valves being considered for installation into
ultrapure water distribution systems. This document is in development as an
industry standard by the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International
(SEMI). When available, adherence to the SEMI standard is recommended.
