Thomson currently has two account systems - one for the website and CAD model downloads, and one for e-commerce. We understand that two logins is an inconvenience and are working to consolidate our systems into one login process. Until we’re able to consolidate the two logins, please follow these guidelines:
DFAR or Defense Federal Acquisition Requirements - option DF
The
DF option is a reference to the fact that the ball meets Defense
Federal Acquisition Requirements, or DFAR. This means that the ball’s
material meets certain manufacturing standards.
The
DP stands for “dry pack.” Most steel products are packed in a
protective oil. This helps to prevent rust and corrosion. When a ball is
dry-packed, it means that it will be shipped dry without any rust
preventative oil.
