MIL-DTL-60519B
4.6.3 Shear pin strength. After application of protective finish, the pin shall be subjected to the shear
pin strength test to determine compliance with 3.5. The test shall be performed in a fixture in conjunction
with a tensile testing machine.
4.6.4 Protective finish. Test procedures for protective finish shall be in accordance with the applicable
specification referenced on the applicable drawing.
4.6.5 Residual magnetism. The assembly shall be tested for excessive residual magnetism using an
approved compass in an area free of local magnetic effects by placing the assembly 5 inches from the
end and at the same height as the compass, in a north-south horizontal position (cap end at south) with the
compass set in an east-west heading. The assembly shall be moved at a speed no greater than 10 feet per
minute past the compass for its entire length, rotated 90 degrees in the horizontal position about its
longitudinal axis and moved slowly back past the compass. This procedure shall be repeated for each 90
degree rotation of the assembly for four full passes.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging . For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the
contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of material is to be performed by DoD personnel,
