Interior and exterior surfaces, including skids shall be paintedwith one (1) coat of primer conforming to MIL-PRF-23377 or MIL-DTL-53022,Type II. Interior surfaces shall be primed coated only. Dry film thickness shall be 1 mil to 1.5 mils thick. Paint all exterior surfaces with two (2) coa(1.8 mils minimum total, dry film thickness) of polyurethane coating conforming to MIL-DTL- 64159 or MIL-DTL-53039, FED-STD-595 color # 34094./Stenciled markings shall be epoxy base ink conforming to A-A-56032 or A-A-208.Color of marking shall be black conforming to Color #27038 or 27040 of FED-STD-595. 3.1 One third (1/3) unit of desiccant (MIL-D-3464, Type II nondusting) per cubic foot of container interior volume shall be placed in desiccant holder of each container at time of shipment. 3.2 Reference to Cadmium plating shall be deleted and the following substituted: "Finish shall be electrodeposited alkaline Zinc-Nickel Alloy in accordance with ASTM B 841 Class 1, Type B, Grade 3." 3.3 The shock mount listed in the drawing package (whether identified as sole source, recommended, or suggested) has been tested and approved for the shock mitigation system of this container. No other shock mount may be substituted without written permission of Naval Inventory Control Point, Philadelphia unless an alternate is specifically indentified in this contract. ;No other; is an approved alternate mount. 3.4 At faying surfaces, discontinuous welds, or other areas where atmospheric liquids may be retained by capillary action, the crevice shall be sealed using Sealing Compound MIL-S-81733 or equivalent. All containers must be affixed with a nameplate that includes a Unique Identification (UID) marking as referenced in the drawing package Drawing ;(80132) 15930; and IAW Mil-STD-130 latest revision. The contractor shall contact NAVICP code ;BUYER ON PAGE ONE; or code 0771.10 for the alphanumeric sequential serial number group that makes up part of the UID. The UIDwill be included on the nameplate in data matrix format. 3.5 Welding and welder qualifications shall be in accordance with AWS D1.1 for steel, AWS D1.2 or MIL-W-22248,Class 4 for aluminum, AWS D1.3 for sheet steel and AWS D1.6 for stainless steel. Proper controls shall be used to prevent melt through or burn through. For aluminum, filler for welding 6061 alloy shall be 4043: filler for welding 5000 series alloys to themselves or to 6061 shall be 5356 or 5556. In addition,welding and weld inspection shall include: (1) Visual inspection shall include 5X (5power) magnification when a suspect condition is to be examined beyond the capability of normal vision. (2) Critical and major welds may be subjected to further non destructive testing (such as dye penetrant inspection)as prescribed by the buying activity. (3) Proper documentation shall be available for review by Government personnel. 3.6 WORK INSTRUCTIONS. Work instructions shall be posted at theoperator's work station giving procedures to control the welding process, i.e., filler material, weld size, electrical and gas characteristics, including flow rate. 3.7 MATERIALS AND MATERIALS CONTROL. The quality program shall assure that the materials used in fabrication or processing, i.e., base metals and weld filler material, be inspected and conform to the applicable physical, chemical and other technical
requirements (supplier's certification is sufficient). 3.8 CONTROLS. Weld filler materials shall be clearly identified and segregated from each other both when in storage and at the work station. Work station environment shall be controlled to prevent conditions adverse to proper gas shielding. 3.9 CLEANING. Parts to be welded shall be cleaned to remove surface soils such as oils, waxes, grease, inks, etc. except that uninhibited alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide shall NOT be used. 3.10 DEOXIDIZING. The cleaned parts shall be chemically deoxidized NO MORE THAN 10 DAYS PRIOR TO WELDING to remove thick surface oxide films. (If the material or work is exposed to an outdoor environment, this time limit shall be reduced to a maximum of 3 days, to account for atmospheric effects.) Mechanical cleaning methods shall be applied just prior to the actual start of welding, to remove any reoxidation or residual thin oxide films. 3.10.1 CHEMICAL TREATMENT. An acid deoxidizing treatment shall be applied by either immersion or brushing/wiping. Deoxidizers acceptable for use shall include nitric acid, sulfuric chromic, phosphoric chromic, or equivalent solutions. Sodium hydroxide solutions shall not be used. Care shall be taken to assure 100% solution coverage of the area to be welded. To allow an adequately sized deoxidized area for good welding, the solution shall be applied to an area extending at least 2 inches from the weld site, or ending at any closer adjacent edge. 3.10.2 MECHANICAL MEANS. Immediately prior to welding, mechanical cleaning methods shall be applied to the weld areas previously chemically treated to assure removal of residual or reformed oxides, if any. Acceptable methods of mechanical cleaning include stainless steel wire brushing, scraping, filing, or sanding. However, abrasives containing iron and its oxides, steel wool and wire, and copper alloy based wire, which may become embedded with galvanically active metals and accelerate corrosion of aluminum alloys shall NOT be used. Mechanical methods shall be vigorous enough to adequately remove any residual oxide films, but gentle enough to avoid forming an excessively rough surface in the comparatively soft metal underneath. Contact code ;BUYER ON PAGE ONE; or code N241.10 to arrange for First Article Test location When a First Article is required, the contractor shall submit a paper copy of the drawings (size 11" X 17"), contracts and approved ECP's ECO's, deviations waivers, and modifications in the records recepticle or inside the container submitted for the First Article. Welding and welder qualifications shall meet current AWS D1.1 and AWS D1.3 and for stainless steel, AWS D1.6 standards. Each container shall be assigned a serial number using the following convention, "contract#_no_dashes-000X". For example, "SPRPA125CEG35-0001", "SPRPA125CEG35-0002", and so on. 4. QUALITY ASSURANCE 4.1 100% PRODUCTION LEAK TEST. Each container, uninstrumented and without dummy load, shall be raised to a height of 18 inches and allowed to fall freely to a concrete or similarly hard surface, landing flat on its base. The container shall then be prepared for testing by sealing all breathing devices and inserting suitable pressurized fittings and gauges. The container shall be closed and sealed in a normal manner. The pneumatic-pressure technique of method 5009 of Federal Test Method Standard No. 101C shall be used to detect leakage. An initial pressure setting equal to 1.0 + 0.1 - 0 PSIG shall be used. After stabilization, pressure shall be monitored for thirty minutes. Any loss in pressure in excess of 0.05 PSIG (adjusted for changes in temperature and barometric pressure) shall be cause for rejection. WARNING Container may explode or fasteners may fail during test. Use protective barriers to avoid injury to personnel. 4.2 The tests to be performed under the First Article approval clause (FAR 52.209-4) of the contract are listed below. 4.2.1 Dimensional test (special) ;to drawing (78286)SPD65E39-75-001 and sub-drawings is applicable; 4.2.2
