4.7.8.2.2.1 Sealant application. Five cartridges from each production lot shall be selected for this test.
The cartridge shall be disassembled in such a manner that determination can be made that the sealant has been
applied for the full length of the joining surfaces at the junction of the cartridge head and case sidewall and
that the propellant cavity is free of sealant. Failure of any cartridge to comply with the drawing requirements
shall be cause for rejection of the lot of cartridges.
4.7.8.3 Retest. There shall be no retests.
4.7.8.3.1 Test failure. If a test failure is attributable to an assignable cause, excluding the test cartridge,
the original test results shall be discarded and that test reconducted.

temperature. Once the temperature inside the chamber has stabilized, the samples shall be placed inside and
maintained at the specified temperature for 4 hours minimum, 24 hours maximum.
4.8.1 Reconditioning. The sample must be tested within ten minutes after removal from the conditioning
chamber. If this time is exceeded, the cartridge shall be reconditioned in accordance with 4.8.

marking shall be in accordance with the requirements of section 5.
