31、Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-PRF-32233A 16 4.5.2.1 Fuel Extraction. Fabric samples for conducting the Ozone Resistance (see 4.5.2.2) test and Weather Resistance (see 4.5.2.3) test shall be prepared using the following procedures: 1) Immerse s

32、eparate samples in each fuel identified in 3.3.3 (except for Automotive Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel) for 7 days at 160F 2) Remove the specimens from the fuel, blot with paper towels, and allow to dry in an air circulating hood for at least 24 hours. 3) Place samples in a vacuum oven and dry for 16 2

33、hours at 120F at 20 inches of mercury 4.5.2.2 Ozone Resistance. Ozone resistance after fuel extraction and drying shall be tested as specified in ASTM D 1149, Test Method A. The samples shall be conditioned for 14 days at a temperature of 104 4F in air having a partial pressure of ozone of 50 millip

34、ascals. Fuel extraction shall be IAW 4.5.2.1. Nonconformance to TABLE I requirements shall constitute failure of the test. 4.5.2.3 Weather Resistance. Weather resistance testing is applicable to all coating compounds intended to be located on the outside of the tank. Accelerated weathering testing s

35、hall be IAW ASTM D 750, ASTM G 155, and AATCC 111 using a Xenon light type weatherometer on samples that have been fuel extracted IAW 4.5.2.1. The breaking strength of the material after aging shall be conducted on both warp and fill samples according to ASTM D 751, Procedure B. Failure of any sampl

36、e set IAW ASTM D 751 shall constitute failure of this test. 4.5.2.4 Gum Content. Cut a 0.2-ounce specimen of each tank material into approximately 0.0625-inch squares, place in a flask containing 8.5 fluid ounces of Reference Fuel D of ASTM D 471, and allow to stand for 48 hours at 735F. A sample of

37、 the fuel shall be retained for later use. Decant and filter the contaminated fluid through Whatman 41H filter paper or equal. Determine the existent/unwashed gum content of the filtrate in accordance with ASTM D 381 using the air jet or steam jet vaporizing medium (which is appropriate for the fuel

38、) and an evaporation time of 45 minutes. Using the same samples after completing the existent/unwashed gum content test above, determine the solvent washed gum IAW ASTM D 381. A minimum of three specimens shall be used. The retained fuel sample shall be tested with the same methods. The existent/unw

39、ashed gum content from the original fuel sample shall be subtracted from the existent/unwashed gum obtained from the fuel used in the soak test. The solvent washed gum from the original fuel sample shall be subtracted from the solvent washed gum obtained from the fuel used in the soak test. Nonconfo

40、rmance to TABLE I shall constitute failure of the test. This test shall be repeated with all fuels identified in 3.3.3 (except for Diesel Fuel and Automotive Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel). 4.5.2.5 Diffusion. The test apparatus shall consist of a diffusion cup and ring, using FIGURE A4 as a guide. Othe

41、r cup designs are acceptable as long as the inside diameter of the cup and ring is maintained at 2.00 0.02 inches and the cup is 1.00 0.06 inches deep. Cut a circular test disk of coated fabric to conform to the outside diameter of the cup flange. Punch holes in the disk to correspond to the flange

42、bolt dimensions as needed. The cup shall be filled with approximately 1.4 fluid ounces of JP-8. A suitable solution shall be used to seal the exposed fabric around the outer edge of the test disk and to seal the test disk to the diffusion cup flange. The test disk shall be placed over the cup with t

43、he tank “interior“ side toward the fuel. The bolts shall be tightened securely. Place the diffusion cup in a suitable rack in a constant temperature of 73.3 2F, and a relative humidity of 65 2 percent. Allow 1 hour for the assembly to reach equilibrium, and then weigh the cup to the nearest 0.005 gr

44、am and place in the rack face upward. Keep the cup at the above constant temperature and humidity for 24 hours and then weigh and check for vapor loss. Re-torque the bolts if necessary. Invert the cup (test disk down) in a rack that permits free access of air to the test disk. Weigh the cup daily. D

45、efective films or leaks caused by faulty assembly are usually found when the cup is weighed on the third day. Continue to weigh the cup daily Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-PRF-32233A 17 until the weight loss is constant to withi

46、n 0.010 grams per day after two 24-hour periods. Then record daily weight loss for a continuous interval of 72 hours. The diffusion rate (D) in fluid ounces per square foot per 24 hours shall be the average of not less than three samples when calculated from the following expression: D = 144 (averag

47、e daily loss in grams) (Sp. Gr.) (29.573)(3.142)(R) where Sp. Gr. is the specific gravity of the test medium and R is the inside radius of the test cup. The diffusion test shall be repeated and diffusion rates recorded for all fuels in accordance with 3.3.3 (First Article Test only). Nonconformance

48、to the requirement in TABLE I with JP-8 as the test fluid shall constitute a failure of this test. 4.5.2.6 Puncture Resistance. Puncture resistance testing shall be in accordance with ASTM D 751 (Puncture Resistance, Section 22-25), except the ring clamp mechanism shall have an internal diameter of

49、3 inches. Nonconformance to TABLE I requirements shall constitute failure of this test. 4.5.2.7 Low Temperature Crease Resistance. Immerse three coated fabric samples, each 8 inches square, in JP-8 fuel conforming to MIL-DTL-83133, and condition for 24 1 hour, at 73 5F. Remove samples, place on a wire screen, and air dry with forced air at 73 5F for 24 1 hour. Fold the samples in half in each direction so that a folded corner occ
