Notes
1. Referee test method.
2. Test procedure and required equipment outlined in Appendix A.
3. This is for reference only, not a requirement.
4. See 4.5.1.1 for ASTM D3241 test conditions and test limits.
5. If air is used instead of steam while performing ASTM D381, it must be reported. In the case of a
failure with air, the sample must be retested using steam.
6. As required by user, see 3.3.2.
4.4.3 Examination of filled containers. Samples taken as specified in 4.2.2.2 shall be examined
for conformance to MIL-STD-290 with regard to fill, closure, sealing, leakage, packaging, packing, and
markings. Any container having one or more defects under the required fill shall be rejected.
4.5 Test methods. Tests to determine conformance to chemical and physical requirements shall
be conducted in accordance with the applicable ASTM standards, or in the case of unique requirements,
the test procedures as outlined in Table I and described in the attached Appendix.
4.5.1 Thermal stability.
4.5.1.1 ASTM D3241. The thermal stability test shall be conducted and the tube shall be rated
using ASTM D 3241 (JFTOT).
4.5.1.1.1 ASTM D3241 test conditions.
a.
Heater tube temperature at maximum point: 300°C (572°F).
b.
Fuel system pressure: 3.43 MPa (500 psig).
c.
Fuel flow rate: 3.0 ml/minute.
d.
Test duration: 150 minutes.
