MIL-DTL-60585B (AR)
6.5 Cleaning prior to testing. The burster casing, prior to hydrostatic and air testing,
should be free from rust and other foreign matter in order not to clog passages and possibly result
in false non-leakers.
6.6 Critical characteristic controls. All production contracts should contain requirements
for handling critical defects. As part of all proposals, suppliers should be asked to describe
policies, procedures and controls for all operations associated with safety characteristics, how
they are documented and maintained under the supplier's integrated management system.
6.6.1 Classification of characteristics. Conformance examinations and tests are specified
in the following Classification of Characteristics paragraphs. When cited herein, attributes
sampling inspection should be conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-1916, using the
inspection levels cited in the Classification of Characteristic paragraphs. Definitions of Critical
and Major should be as defined in MIL-STD-1916. Acceptance criteria should be in accordance
with MIL-STD-1916. Alternative conformance inspections may be submitted and approved in
accordance with MIL-STD-1916. Dimensions marked tool control should be gaged at the
beginning of production and whenever tooling is replaced. Where destruction of components is
necessary to inspect these dimensions, measurements of the tool may be substituted provided that
the contractor has established correlation between the tool dimensions and the component
dimensions prior to the start of production.
6.7 Definitions
6.7.1 Acceptance inspection equipment (AIE). Any measuring device that is traceable to
the national or international standard used to assure conformance of material to the contract
requirements.
6.8 Critical characteristics. Critical characteristics in 4.3.2.5 and 4.3.2.6 are so classified
because the conditions are likely to cause failure to seal the WP load or to support and seal the
burster, and allow WP leakage or cause premature projectile burst. In the case of inbore function,
it is possible that the weapon muzzle brake can deflect burning WP and projectile body
fragments toward adjacent weapon crews.
