When alternate materials or methods of manufacture are specified on the drawings, the bidder's selections
shall be clearly stated in the proposal.
3.2.1 Raw materials. The contractor shall be responsible for selecting from the classification list
contained in the raw material specification the surface and physical condition of the raw material intended
for use in manufacture.
Hardness and other physical properties. Physical properties required by the drawing shall be
3.3
uniform throughout the part within specified tolerances. Requirements for all alloy steel parts shall be
achieved by quenching and tempering.
Hydrostatic pressure. The initiator chamber and cap shall withstand a hydrostatic pressure of
3.4
14,000 to 15,000 pounds per square inch (psi) for 15 seconds, minimum, without deformation or
mechanical failure (see 6.4.1).
Firing pin release. The firing pin of the metal parts assembly initiator, less safety pin and
3.5
cartridge, shall release from the cocked position when the application of an axial load of 15 to 30 pounds
has withdrawn the initiator pin 0.370 inch, minimum, and 0.425 inch, maximum (see 4.3.3).
Initiator pin security. Application of an axial load of 200 to 220 pounds to the initiator pin of
3.6
the metal parts assembly shall not withdraw the initiator pin past the safety pin. Load application shall
cause no permanent deformation of the safety pin.
Protective finish. Protective finish shall be in accordance with the applicable specifications and
3.7
shall apply to all surfaces of the component regardless of contour configuration.
Residual magnetism. The metal parts assembly shall not deflect the indicator of the compass
3.8
more than five degrees in either direction using procedures in 4.6.6.
Metal parts assembly. Parts shall be combined to produce an assembly, which conforms to the
3.9
requirements of the metals parts assembly drawing. All threaded joints shall be assembled hand tight.
Workmanship. The requirements for workmanship are as specified on the applicable drawings,
3.10
referenced specification, and the following:
3.10.1 Metal defects. All components shall be free from cracks, splits, cold shuts, inclusions, porosity,
or any similar defect.
3.10.2 Burr. No part shall have a burr which might interfere with the assembly or function of the item
or which might be injurious to personnel handling the item.
3.10.3 Foreign matter. No part or assembly shall contain chips, dirt, grease, rust, corrosion, or other
foreign matter.
