Shot size and uniformity

Section 4.3.1 Sampling for shot size and uniformity shall be done at the frequencies specified in 4.2.1 for intensity. Where cut wire shot is used, it shall be inspected for absence of sharp edges and roundness (see 3.1.3)

Section 4.2.1 States that in all cases at least one determination shall be made at the beginning and one at the end of each period of operation or part change.

Section 3.3.9 States the same but adds some more detail.

My problem is two fold, first why would you need to check the shot after each new part number is put into the machine? Second why does this specification duplicate the requirements.

I believe sampling steel shot every 8 hours is sufficient for any machine with or without built in classifiers.
