MIL-F-50542A (AR)

4 .4.3 Testing .-Testing is described in the First

Article and Quallty Conformance Inspection tables.

4.5 Methods of inspection.

PRECAUTION - This specification covers sampling

and testing of explosive materials which are potentially

hazardous to personnel. Accordingly, it is emphasized that

all applicable safety rules, regulations and procedures must

be followed in handling and processing these materials.

4.5.1 Materials, components and processes. - Compliance

with all requirements of Section 3 of this specification

shall be ascertained by current and continuing examination

of inspection and test data to determine that all components

(parts, subassemblies, and materials) have been inspected

and tested and bound to comply with their respective drawing

and specification requirements, and that all specified

manufacturing processes have been followed.

4.5.1.1 Visual and mechanical inspections. - The visual,

manual and mechanical inspections and tests shall verify

compliance with the requirements of Sections 3 and 5 of this

specification in accordance with 4.4.2 herein and Table I.

Accept-reject criteria shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-105.

4.5.2 Fuze assembly sealing. The fuze assembly shall

be subjected to the seal leak test as specified on dwg 65C11046.

Any fuze assembly not meeting test requirements shall be

classed defective.

4.5.3 Fuze assembly functioning test. - The fuze assembly

mounted in a simulated warhead body shall be accelerated on

a centrifuge to 35.0 gravities (g's) plus or minus one (1) g

for a minimum of 1.5 seconds. The fuze will normally fire

upon a decrease in acceleration to 15.0 g's or below after

arming at 35.0 g's. After deceleration, fuzes which have

not fired shall be examined for the safe position before

handling. A fuze which has armed but has not fired shall be

handled using an approved safety method to prevent injury.

If one or more fuze assemblies fail to function or fail to

shear the simulated warhead pins, the lot shall be rejected.
