Packing shall withstand the test specified in 4.4.1 without hardening or undergoing any change which indicates deterioration. 3.4 Molding. The rounde
21、d, class 1, packing shall be capable of being readily molded or prefabricated into packing sets. This capability shall be determined by the test described in 4.4.3. 3.5 Performance. Packing shall be capable of remaining tight indefinitely, and shall have no deleterious effects upon the sheathing of
22、electric cables or upon the metallic armor of electric cables, where used against water, air, or gas at pressures from atmospheric to 25 p.s.i.g. (.1724 MPa) at temperatures up to 212 F (100 C). (see 4.4.2). 3.6 Compressibility. Packing shall be formed under the minimum pressures specified in table
23、II with the packing and molds maintained at a minimum temperature of 100 F (37.8 C). When tested as specified in 4.4.3, the height shall be not less than 80 percent of the original height. For packing, class 1, furnished in bulk, spools or reels, check compressibility of all diameter of cable and pa
24、ckings in mold sizes equal to stuffing tube sizes C, L, R, and V, respectively, in the above manner. Table II - Molding pressures.

25、n. 4.1 Sampling lot. All packing of the same class, composition, type, or size shall be considered a lot for purposes of acceptance inspection. 4.1.2 Sampling for examination. Sample sets or spools shall be selected at random in accordance with ASQ Z1.4 at Inspection Level I for the examination of 4
26、.2.1. The Acceptable Quality Level shall be 2.5 percent defective. 4.1.3 Sampling for tests. Sample sets or spools shall be selected at random in accordance with ASQ Z1.4 at Inspection Level S2 for tests specified in 4.2.2. 4.1. 4 Sampling for compression test. A random sample of sets or spools shal
27、l be selected from each lot in accordance with 4.1.3 and subjected to the test specified in 4.3.3. 4.1.5 Sampling for production check test. Three yards of rounded packing and two sets of preformed packing from the first lot of each type and class and 54 in. (137 cm) of rounded packing and one set o
28、f preformed packing from every tenth lot shall be selected from the same class and type for the tests specified in 4.3. The samples shall be chosen so that over a period of time a representative selection of sizes will be sampled. 4.2 Conformance inspection. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduct
29、ion or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-DTL-16685E 54.2.1 Visual and dimensional examination. Each of the sample sets or spools (see 4.1.2), shall be visually and dimensionally examined to verify compliance with this specification. Any set or spool in the sample containing one o
30、r more visual or dimensional defects shall not be offered for delivery and if the number of defective sets in any sample exceeds the acceptance number for that sample, this shall be cause for rejection of the lot represented by the sample. 4.2.2 Conformance tests. Unless otherwise specified conforma
31、nce tests shall include the tests specified in 4.3 for each size, type and class of packing. 4.2.2.1 Compression test. Each of the sample sets or spools selected in accordance with 4.1.4 shall be tested in accordance with 4.3.3 to verify compliance with this specification. If any of the packing does
32、 not meet the requirements of this test, this shall be cause for rejection of the lot represented by the sample. 4.2.2.2 Production check test. The sample selected as specified in 4.1.5 shall be subjected to the tests specified in 4.3. 4.2.2.2.1 Action in case of failure. Lot acceptance and rejectio
33、n will normally be on the basis of sampling, examination and tests specified in 4.1, 4.2.1, and 4.2.2.1 only, and acceptance will not be withheld pending receipt of the test report on the production check test samples. However, upon receipt of an unsatisfactory report on any sample chosen for produc
34、tion check tests, additional samples shall be selected from every subsequent lot offered for delivery. These samples shall be subjected to the tests wherein failure was observed. Lots shall then be accepted only upon receipt of a satisfactory test report on the samples so selected. This additional t
35、esting shall be discontinued and lot acceptance returned to the normal basis when two successive lots have been accepted. 4.3 Test procedures. 4.3.1 Accelerated aging test. Specimens shall be suspended in an electrically heated oven and shall be subjected to dry circulating air at 200 F (93 C). for
36、1000 hours without hardening or softening or without changing in any other respect which will indicate that the material is deteriorating. 4.3.2 Performance test. This test shall be conducted in representative sizes of bulkhead stuffing tubes. Both plain and armored cable (including sheathing materi
37、al of polychloroprene, impervious resins and thermoplastic resins) shall be used during the test. After the packing has been installed in the tubes, the gland units shall be drawn up snugly with a wrench 20 in. (50.8 cm) in length. An air pressure of 25 p.s.i.g. (.1723 MPa) for bulkhead stuffing tub
38、es shall then be applied within the apparatus and any leakage that occurs from the tubes shall be noted and recorded. The air, with pressure still applied within the apparatus, shall be heated to a temperature of 212 F (100 C) by means of a water bath surrounding the compartments. These conditions s
39、hall be maintained for 1.5 hours and any leak which occurs from the tubes shall be noted and recorded. At the end of this time the apparatus shall be allowed to cool and, when cold, the leakage from the tubes shall again be recorded. The above conditions shall be repeated at least three times. On co
40、nclusion of the test, the packing shall be removed from the tubes and the cables examined for crimpage, deformation, or evidence of gross damage by chemical attack of armor or cable sheath. If any of these mentioned defects are in evidence, this shall be cause for rejection of the lot represented by
41、 the sample. 4.3.3 Compression test. The adequacy of the molding pressures, as specified in 3.6 shall be determined as follows: Measure the height dimension (h-I, h-IA or h-II of figures 1 and 2, as applicable) of a sample of preformed packing. Place the sample in the corresponding size mold and sub
42、ject it to the pressure specified in 3.6 for a period of 3 minutes. Release pressure and measure the same dimension as soon as the set is removed from the mold.

45、g. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging requireme
46、nts. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Points packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the military services system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military Departments or Defense Agencys automated pa
47、ckaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity. 6.
