MIL-PRF-16005F
3.4 Qualitative. The propellant shall be a clear, colorless, homogenous liquid when examined
visually by transmitted light.
4. VERIFICATION
4.1 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as
quality conformance inspections. (see 4.2)
4.2 Quality conformance inspection. Conformance tests shall consist of the following:
a. Examination ............................................................ 4.2.1
b. Laboratory Analysis ................................................ 4.2.2
4.2.1 Examination. The propellant shall be subject to the following test as described under 4.4.
Examination of product ................................................ 4.4.1
4.2.2 Laboratory Analysis. The propellant shall be sampled according to 4.2.2.1 and the
samples tested for conformance to the limits of Table I utilizing the procedures described under 4.4.
4.2.2.1 Sampling plan.
4.2.2.1.1 Lot. A lot shall consist of one of the following:
a. The propellant produced in not more than 24 consecutive hours from a continuous
process which is used to fill shipping containers directly from the process output. A continuous
process shall be the production of product by continuous input of raw materials and output of
finished product by one manufacturer in one plant with no change in manufacturing conditions or
materials.
b. The propellant from individual runs of a batch process which is used to fill shipping
containers directly from the process output. A batch process shall be the production of product
by single additions of raw materials which are reacted and purified forming the product.
c. The propellant from either or both the continuous and batch processes which is held
in a single storage tank and subsequently withdrawn to fill shipping containers. The product shall
be homogenous at the time of withdrawal and shall not be added to while being withdrawn. After
each addition to the storage tank, the contents shall constitute a separate lot.
4.2.2.1.2 Sample. Three one-liter samples of propellant shall be selected as specified in
4.2.2.1.3 or 4.2.2.1.4. Each sample taken shall be placed in a clean, clear, glass container, examined
visually and tested for hydrogen peroxide assay. The sample with the lowest assay shall be subjected to
the additional tests of Table I. Quality conformance tests shall be made upon the samples of propellant
taken directly from shipping containers at the place of manufacture and time of shipment.
4.2.2.1.3 Drums. Samples shall be drawn by means of an accepted sampling device. The
number of drums selected from each lot shall be according to ANSI/ASQC Z1.4, inspection level S-3.
The sample shall be taken approximately one inch below the surface of the liquid. If more than one lot is
represented in a shipment, then each lot represented shall be considered as a separate lot for sampling
purposes. The contents of each selected drum shall be thoroughly mixed by agitation in an upright
position immediately prior to sampling.
