34、ned to determine conformance with section 3 requirements and drawings provided in the contract. 4.6.2 Backlash. Backlash shall be determined by securing the output end of the control unit while subjecting the input to an operating force with 5 pound tension and a 5 pound compression load at room tem

35、perature, “(as defined in table II, note 2)”. The total travel of the input end shall be recorded as backlash and shall not exceed the limits specified in Table II. 4.6.3 Operating force with no load. The operating force required to push or pull the control shall be measured to verify performance sp

36、ecified in Table II. 4.6.4 Operating force under tension and compression loads. The operating force required to move the control shall be measured to verify performance specified in Table II. The operating force, with the control in tension, shall be measured by pulling the control. The operating fo

37、rce with the control in compression shall be measured by pushing the control. 4.6.5 Humidity. The push-pull cable and control shall be placed in a test chamber (see 4.6.5.1) with the temperature raised to 158 3.6F (70 2C), the relative humidity raised to 95 5% and maintained for 6 hours. After 6 hou

38、rs, the heat will be turned off. For the next 16 hours, the temperature shall decrease to 100.4F (38C) or less. At the end of the 16 hours, heat again will be applied for an additional 2 hours to stabilize the temperature at 158 3.6F (70 2C). This entire cycle shall be repeated 5 times for a total o

39、f 120 hours. The control shall be checked for deterioration, deformation, and damage. In addition, the push-pull control shall be examined for compliance with low temperature requirements in Table II.

40、IL-PRF-7958D 7 4.6.5.1 Humidity test chamber. The test chamber shall be capable of maintaining an internal temperature of 158 3.6F (70 2C) and an internal humidity of 95 5 percent. The test chamber shall be capable of being sealed to retain the total moisture content in the test space. The heat loss

41、 from the chamber shall be sufficient to reduce the internal temperature from the above specified operating temperature to not more than 100.4F (38C) within a period of 16 hours from the time of removal of the source of heat. Distilled or demineralized water shall be used to obtain the required humi

42、dity. 4.6.6 Lubrication. After attaining 190 4F (88 2C), the push-pull control shall be operated through its full stoke at the rate of 20 cycles per minute for 30 minutes. The push-pull control shall exhibit no lubricant leakage. 4.6.7 Break-away force. The break-away force shall be measured at the

43、end of the low temperature soaking period, and shall be the maximum force measured to pull the control on the first movement after the soaking period. 4.6.8 Endurance. The test shall be conducted at room temperature, “(as defined in table II, note 2)”. The reversals shall be applied at the rate of 2

44、0 cycles per minute with 4-inch stroke until the 25,000 reversals have been completed. The push-pull control shall be subjected to a 5-pound compression load during the push stroke and a 5-pound tension load during the pull stroke. 4.6.9 Corrosion. The control shall be operated through its full stro

45、ke at half-hour intervals for 50 hours in accordance with ASTM B117. Following this test, the control shall be tested at room temperature “(as defined in table II, note 2)” as described in 4.6.2 through 4.6.4. The operating force of the control shall not exceed 50% increase over the original operati

46、ng force observed between 68 to 85F (20 to 29C). The control shall be dissembled and examined for evidence of wear or distortion. The casing shall be sectioned and the bends examined for decrease in thickness. Any evidence of wear, distortion, or decrease in thickness shall be cause for rejection. 5

47、 PACKAGING 5.1 Packaging. 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 ascer

48、tain packaging requirements. 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 packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
