MIL-I-8835A

Abstract

This specification establishes the requirements for one type of chemically impregnated, humidity sensitive, indicator card designed for use in the preservation and packaging of items in accordance with Method II of MIL-P-116 (see <a>6.1</a>). <br>Unless otherwise specified, the following specifications and standards of the issue listed in that issue of the Department of Defense Index of Specifications and Standards (DoDISS) specified in the solicitation form a part of this specification to the extent specified herein. </span><pre> SPECIFICATIONS FEDERAL <cite>PPP-C-96</cite> - Can, Metal, 28 Gage and Lighter MILITARY <cite>MIL-P-116</cite> - Preservation, Methods of <cite>MIL-D-3464</cite> - Desiccants, Activated, Bagged, Packaging Use and Static Dehumidification</pre> <br> <strong>Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: Systems Engineering and Standardization Department (Code 93), Naval Air Engineering Center,) Lakehurst, NJ 08733, by using the self-addressed Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter.</strong> <pre> STANDARDS MILITARY <cite>MIL-STD-105</cite> - Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection by Attributes <cite>MIL-STD-129</cite> - Marking for Shipment and Storage <cite>MS20003</cite> - Indicator, Humidity, Card, Three Spot, Impregnated Areas (Cobaltous Chloride)</pre> <br> <br>(Copies of specifications and standards required by manufacturers in connection with specific acquisition functions should be obtained from the contracting activity or as directed by the contracting officer.) <br>The following documents form a part of this specification to the extent specified herein. The issues of the documents which are indicated as DoD adopted shall be the issue listed in the current DoDISS and the supplement thereto, if applicable. <pre> American Society for Testing and Materials <cite>ASTM D 2177</cite> - Ink Absorption of Blotting Paper <cite>ASTM D 3951</cite> - Commercial Packaging</pre> <br> <br>(Applications for copies should be addressed to the American Society for Testing and Materials, 1916 Race Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.) <br>In the event of a conflict between the text of this specification and the references cited herein, the text of this specification shall take precedence. <br><b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> The humidity-indicating cards conforming to this specification are intended for use with Method II packages of MIL-P-116, in which it is necessary to determine that the desiccant within a package is sufficiently active to maintain a relative humidity below that at which corrosion might occur. The cards may also be used in any application in which a knowledge of the approximate relative humidity within a closed space is desired. <br>
