Unless otherwise noted herein or in the contract, in the event of a conflict between the text of this document and the references cited herein, the text of this document takes precedence. Nothing in this d
22、ocument, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 First article. When specified (see 6.2), a sample shall be subjected to first article inspection in accordance with 4.2. 3.2 Materials. The materials selected for construct
23、ion of the containers and connecting couplers are the responsibility of the contractor and shall be in accordance with applicable federal, military or national technical society, association or institute specification or standard. The materials shall be of sufficient durability to meet all the perfo
24、rmance requirements as specified herein. The material shall have no adverse effect on the health of personnel when used for its intended purpose. Toxic chemicals, hazardous substances, or ozone depleting chemicals (ODCs) shall not be used. No radioactive materials, mercury, or cadmium plating shall
25、be used. Care shall be exercised during design and in all material selection to reduce or eliminate the need for hazardous materials and emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) throughout the products lifecycle. 3.2.1 Material deterioration, prevention, and control. The containers and connect
26、ing couplers shall be fabricated from materials, inherently corrosion resistant such as galvanized steel to G-90 level, stainless steel or composites or treated materials that provide protection against the various forms of corrosion and deterioration that may be encountered in all of the operating
27、and storage environments addressed in 3.4. All container designs shall be evaluated for corrosion prevention and control by the GMW14872 Cyclic Corrosion Laboratory Test (CCLT) for 120 cycles to qualify the system (pretreatment, coating type(s) and coating thicknesses). The containers shall operate
28、for a minimum of 20-year service life without performance degradation due to corrosion. No actions beyond normal washing, scheduled maintenance (exclusive of paint touch up), repair of accidentally damaged areas (not a result of intended use, deficiency in design, materials, manufacturing or normal
29、wear), and replacement of damaged paint shall be necessary to keep the corrosion prevention in effect. To meet the nuclear biological and chemical (NBC) survivability requirements, materials shall be selected which can be decontaminated without degradation when cleaned with Decontamination Solution
30、Number 2 (DS2). The connecting couplers (see 3.5.5) shall be considered part of the container and shall also meet the 20-year service life; regardless that normal use of couplers could degrade standard corrosion protection methods. All container designs shall be tested and evaluated for corrosion pr
31、evention in accordance with 4.4.3. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-PRF-32349A 5 3.2.2 Treatment and painting.

32、ted to provide corrosion resistance for an expected life of 20 years. The containers shall be cleaned, pretreated, primed and painted in accordance with the coating manufacturers recommendations for the specific coating system that shall be used. The application of the CARC system shall be performed
33、 in accordance with MIL-DTL-53072 on all interior and exterior metal surfaces unless otherwise specified (see 6.2). All organic zinc rich coatings shall be in accordance with A-A-59745 with exception that the zinc content shall be 85% or higher by weight in dry film. Top-coat color shall be green 38
34、3, Color Number 34094 of FED-STD-595 unless otherwise specified (see 6.2). Top coat color may also be Tan 686A, Color Number 33446 of FED-STD-595 when specified (see 6.2). Coating system shall be selected to provide resistance to environmental degradation and coating chipping (see 4.4.6). The color
35、of interior surfaces shall be green 383, Color Number 34094 of FED-STD-595 unless otherwise specified (see 6.2). When specified, in addition to CARC painting, the underside of the containers shall be undercoated with Tectyl 121B 2.8 Volatile Organic Content (VOC) (Daubert Chemical Company) to furthe
36、r prevent corrosion (see 6.2). A product with equivalent characteristics may be used in lieu of Tectyl 121B 2.8 VOC (see 6.2). Any welds and heat affected zones in galvanized steel shall be coated by zinc rich primer or thermal spray zinc to restore the zinc finish or provide equivalent protection p
37、rovided by the zinc. Galvanized steel shall be pretreated with zinc phosphate per TT-C-490. 3.2.3 Dissimilar metals. Dissimilar metals shall not be used in intimate contact with each other unless protected against galvanic corrosion. 3.2.4 Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable materials
38、 Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable materials should be used to the maximum extent possible provided that the material meets or exceeds the operational and maintenance requirements, and promotes economically advantageous life cycle costs. Used, rebuilt or remanufactured components,
39、pieces, and parts shall not be incorporated into the container. Materials not specified shall be in accordance with applicable federal, military, or national technical society, association or institute specifications or standards. 3.2.5 Construction. The container shall be constructed to minimize re
40、cesses and voids where moisture can accumulate. No part of the container shall protrude beyond the outside plane surfaces of the corner fittings. 3.3 Operating and design requirements. 3.3.1 Description. Each Tricon shall be 6 ft 5-1/2 in long by 8 ft wide by 8 ft high (1969 mm by 2438 mm by 2438 mm
41、) and shall be suitable for repeated use, waterproof, and non-collapsible. Used materials or components shall not be used as part of any Tricon. Three Tricons, when coupled together, shall hereinafter be referred to as a container for the purposes of this specification, and shall become a 19 ft 10-1
