27、le being withdrawn. After each addition to the storage tank, the contents shall constitute a separate lot. 4.2.3.2 Container4.2.4 : A container is defined as a shipping conveyance consisting of one cylinder or tube, or multiple cylinders or tubes that are interconnected by a single manifold that equ
28、alizes the pressure across all the cylinders or tubes to form one unit. Sample. Each sample shall be of sufficient size to conduct all the quality conformance tests as specified herein. Unless otherwise specified, the quality conformance tests shall be performed on each required sample (see 6.2). Wh
29、en required, an equivalent sample shall be forwarded to a laboratory designated by the procuring activity for testing. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-PRF-25508H 6 4.2.4.1 Sampling methodsa. Type I, gaseous oxygen may be sampled i
30、n accordance with ASTM F307, for Type II, liquid oxygen may be sampled in accordance with ASTM F310. It is critical that the outlet of the sampling port and the other equipment used in this process meet oxygen system cleanliness standards. Use an oxygen compatible cleaning solvent in accordance with
31、 local procedures for oxygen cleanliness. . All apparatus used shall be made of suitable materials. Each sample taken for analysis shall be representative of the entire contents of the container being sampled. Unless otherwise specified in the acquisition requirements (see 6.2), sampling may be acco
32、mplished by the following methods. b. By connecting the shipping container being sampled directly to the analytical equipment using suitable pressure regulation as required. It is critical that the outlet of the sampling port and the other equipment used in this process meet oxygen system cleanlines
33、s standards. Use an oxygen compatible cleaning solvent in accordance with local procedures for oxygen cleanliness. 4.2.5 Non-bulk Containers4.2.6 . Non bulk containers are defined as containers with a water capacity of 400 liters, or less. The number of non-bulk containers Type I (gaseous) or Type I
34、I (liquid) oxygen will be in accordance with Table II. Containers to be sampled may be selected at random. Bulk Containers4.2.6.1 . Bulk containers are defined as having a water capacity in excess of 400 liters. Each bulk container filled with Type I (gaseous) and Type II (liquid) oxygen constitutes
35、 a lot and shall be sampled. Continuous service.4.3 (see 6.4.1) Unless otherwise specified by the procuring activity, the following sample option for oxygen shall be used for storage and transport tanks engaged in continuous oxygen service (see 6.2). Contractor shall sample the contents of each tran
36、sport tank engaged in continuous oxygen service at least once every seven days at uniform intervals of time. Samples shall be taken from the filled transport tanks. Contractor shall sample the contents of each transport tank when entering continuous service and when the transport tank has remained e
37、mpty for a period greater than 24 hours. When empty, all ports and vents shall remain closed to the atmosphere. While in continuous service, compliance with quality conformance tests specified herein shall be determined by sampling the filling point storage tank after each addition or, in case of co
38、ntinuous production, at established intervals not less frequent than once every 24 hours. When a storage tank is being filled during a change of duty shift, sampling shall be performed after filling. Rejection4.4 . When any sample tested in accordance with 4.4 fails to conform to the requirements sp
39、ecified herein, the entire lot represented by the sample shall be rejected. Analytical procedures4.4.1 . Unless otherwise specified, samples shall be analyzed according to the procedures described below (see 6.2). Calibration gas standards may be required to calibrate (zero and span) analytical inst
40、ruments used to determine the purity and impurity contents of the oxygen. The accuracy of the calibration gas standards is to be traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Purity= lO4210100%. Methods shall be selected from CGA G-4.3 except for grade F. The purity of grad
41、e F shall be determined by difference as follows: where l equals the sum of the water content, total hydrocarbons, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and inert gases in ppm by volume. 4.4.2 Impurities. Methods for analyzing impurities shall be selected from those of CGA G-4.3. Provided
42、by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-PRF-25508H 7 4.4.3 Particulate content. A filter holder assembly (Pall Life Sciences part No. 2220) or equivalent, modified as shown in Figure 1, shall be attached to the withdrawal line of the vessel to be
43、utilized to fill the tanks. A preweighed filter paper (47 mm glass fiber paper, type A/E or equivalent) shall be placed on top of another filter of the same kind. The filters shall then be placed on the porous filter support, which, in turn, shall be placed in the filter holder as shown in Figure 1.
44、 The male threads of the filter holder shall be wrapped with thin, nonadhesive-backed polytetrafluorethylene tape A-A-58092, or technical equivalent, to prevent galling of the threads. The holder shall be tightened by hand as tight as possible to prevent bypassing of the filter element. The discharg
45、e liquid from the filter housing shall be collected in a clean, uninsulated, ambient temperature vessel marked to indicate when 5 liters of liquid have been collected. The liquid flow shall be terminated when 5 liters of liquid have been collected. The filter holder shall be removed from the line an
46、d permitted to reach ambient temperature. The warmup to ambient temperature may be expedited by use of an oven or other heat source. Care shall be exercised to ensure that any airflow which enters the unit will be directed through the inlet of the assembly to prevent displacing and particles from th
47、e surface of the filter. Upon warmup, the other side of the holder shall be wiped with a clean cloth and the holder then disassembled. The filter paper shall be closely inspected. The test shall be repeated if evidence of either (a) the filter not being securely clamped by uniform depression of its
48、edge; (b) the filter having been cut by the holder; or (c) when dirt particles are detected in the clamped area indicating bypassing had been encountered. The test shall also be repeated when either the bottom filter shows any discoloration or when leakage of liquid from the filter holder is detected. Upon completion of a valid test the filter shall be removed from the housing and weighed to the nearest 0.1 mg. Figure 1.
