25、SAE AS26860 - 5 -3.4 Design and construction:3.4.1 General: The humidity indicators shall be so designed that the indicating element is freely exposed to the contained atmosphere and only common hand tools are required to install and remove the plugs from rigid or flexible containers. The design sha

26、ll be such that the exterior gaskets seat in a rectangular groove in the plug. The depth of the groove shall be not less than 60 percent nor more than 70 percent of the original gasket thickness.3.4.2 Type I: The type I indicators shall be suitable for installation in threaded plug openings of engin

27、e cylinders. Thread length, diameter and the number of threads shall be as specified in MS27215.3.4.3 Type II: the type II indicators shall be suitable for attachment in barrier material conforming toMIL-B-131, Class 1 or 2, or in metal containers. The corners of the indicator plug and locknut which

28、 will be adjacent to the barrier material shall be so rounded as to preclude puncturing of the barrier material during installation. (Reference Ordance Drawing 9129386 and MS18013).3.4.3.1 Size: Unless otherwise specified, the type II indicators shall be externally threaded with a3/4-inch modified N
