MIL-DTL-81716A
4.5.3.1 Hardness (batch). Test to be same as 4.5.2.1 except that the hardness value shall
not vary more than ±5 Shore A durometer points from the value obtained for the unaged
specimen in 4.5.2.1.
4.5.3.2 Tensile strength (batch and finished product). Test to be same as 4.5.2.2 except that
the tensile strength shall not vary more than ±15 percent from the value obtained for the unaged
specimens in 4.5.2.2.
4.5.3.3 Elongation (batch and finished product). Test to be same as 4.5.2.3 except that the
elongation shall not vary more than ±20 percent from the value obtained for the unaged specimen
in 4.5.2.3.
4.5.3.4 Specific gravity (batch and finished product). Test to be same as 4.5.2.4 except that
the specific gravity shall not vary more than ±.02 from the value obtained in 4.5.2.4.
4.5.3.5 Permanent set (process monitoring). Test to be same as 4.5.2.5 except that the
permanent set shall not exceed 5.0 percent.
4.5.3.6 Temperature retraction (process monitoring). Test to be same as 4.5.2.6 except that
the temperature retraction shall not vary more than ±2F (±1C) from the value obtained for the
unaged sample in 4.5.2.6.
4.5.3.7 Volume change (process monitoring). Test to be same as 4.5.2.7 except that the
volume change of the oil aged packing shall be within ±3 percent of the value obtained in 4.5.2.7,
and the test sample shall not shrink.
4.5.3.8 Corrosion and adhesion (process monitoring). Test to be same as 4.5.2.8 except
that the storage time for the test samples in the desiccator for the final portion of the test shall be
96 hours instead of 336 hours.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in
the contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-
house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity
to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory
Control Point's packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the
military service's system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing
Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by
contacting the responsible packaging activity.
