4.2.3.1.3 Body and breech. Each body and breech assembly shall be subjected to a breakaway torque. Failure of any assembly to comply with the requirements of column C, table I in 3.3 shall be cause for rejection of the assembly.
4.2.3.2 Residual magnetism. Each assembly shall be subjected to the test for excessive residual magnetism as specified in 4.3.2. Failure of any unit to comply with 3.5 shall be cause for rejection of the assembly.
4.2.3.3 Functional tests. The following tests shall be performed by the Government.
4.2.3.3.1 Ballistics. Twenty-one units shall be tested to determine compliance with 3.7. The units shall be temperature conditioned as provided in table II and 4.3.4.2. Failure of any unit to comply with 3.7.1 through 3.7.6 shall be cause for rejection of the lot.

4.2.3.3.3 Test failure. If a test failure is attributable to an assignable cause, excluding the test thruster, the original test results shall be discarded and that test reconducted.
4.3 Test methods and procedures.
4.3.1 Breakaway torque. A torque wrench, set at the torque requirements specified in table I, shall be used with an appropriate adapter to determine the adequacy of the joints. The cartridge retainer shall be held secure and the torque shall be applied to the breech. The thruster body shall be held secured and the torque shall be applied to the breech and end cap.
4.3.2 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 at
