3.0 REQUIREMENTS

3.1 General. The buoy shall be fiberglass over foam with Type 316 stainless steel framework and four attachment points on both the top and bottom.

3.2 Materials

3.2.1 Fiberglass. The fiberglass lay-up shall be layered with a combination of bulk fiberglass, applied by chopper gun, and 24 oz. roving. Equal bi-directional plus, minus, 45-degree strand material may be substituted for 24 oz. roving. Resin to glass ratio shall be 65 to 35. A smooth surface inside mold shall be used to form the fiberglass skin within which the bulk of the fiberglass shall be laid up. This shall be the required technique with the objective of producing buoys of consistent size and shape. Buoys with a surface finish consisting of dips or waves of greater than 1/4 inch may be rejected. All transitions must be fully feathered. Proper fiber glassing techniques shall be followed to prevent delamination.

3.2.2 Stainless Steel. All stainless steel components shall be ASTM A666 Type 316.

3.2.3 Floatation Foam. The floatation foam injected into the hull shall meet the requirement of

MIL-P-21929B.

3.3 Construction

3.3.1 Fiberglass. The fiberglass shall have the following nominal thickness:

Hull Location Thickness (inches) Bottom 1/4 Sides to vertical flat 3/8 Vertical flat on up including top 1/2

Hull shall be constructed using alternate layers of chopped reinforcement, bi-directional and 24

oz. woven roving.

3.3.2 Procedure. Set the proper height of the frames to the inside of the shell. (the critical measurements here is the distance the lower pad eyes protrude out of the bottom of the buoy, i.e.,

3.7 inches minimum). Apply a 3/8-inch alternating layer of mat and roving extending a minimum of 6 inches on each side of the internal framework's bottom plates to secure the frame to the inside of the buoy bottom. An additional 1/8-inch thickness of reinforcement must be applied to the inner and outer seams. Each 1/8 inch thickness band shall be approximately 14 inches wide consisting of chop, two layers of 1-1/2 oz. mat and two layers of unidirectional roving. This additional thickness must be feathered into the adjacent areas not in excess of 3 inches on top and bottom to provide a smooth transition. All voids shall be filled with Duraglass and covered with a gel coat with surface agent then sanded to fair and re-gel coated as required.

PAGE 11 OF 58 1305M219QNWWG0015

The entire finished surface of the buoy shall be coated with gel coat with an air inhibited polyester surface. Apply an 18-inch wide strip of 40-mesh sand with gel coat to give a nonskid texture to the top of the buoy.

Drill thirteen 7/8 inch holes through the buoy side wall. Fiberglass the stainless steel rubber bumper mounts to the inside wall of the buoy at approximately 29 inch intervals. They shall be centered vertically on the rubber bumper groove and layered with 3/8 inch fiberglass and three layers of 24 oz. roving. These must be watertight. Note: the 29 inch interval shall mean that the first and last bumper mounts shall not be near 29 inches but closer to 12 inches apart.

Apply a smooth bead of 3M 5200 Marine adhesive/sealant to where the stainless steel framework and fiberglass meet.

The vertical sides up to and including the top, well and lid gelcoat shall be colored with three coats of safety yellow with surface agent added to the last coat. Other surfaces remain white.

3.3.3 Welding. All stainless steel welding shall be in accordance with AWS Dl.6.

3.3.4 Flotation Foam Injection. The contractor shall have a procedure for injection and curing of the floatation foam that is in accordance with MIL-P-21929B and manufacturer's instructions.

4.2 Flotation Foam Filling Procedure. The contractor shall submit the selected floatation foam that meets MIL-P-21929B and the procedure for filling the hull prior to beginning the hull fabrication.

4.3 Hull Pressure Test. The contractor shall perform a hull pressure test in accordance with NDBC-8117. Any leaks shall require repair and a retest until the test is passed At least two weeks prior to performing this test the contactor shall notify the government so they can witness the test.

4.4 Structural Integrity Test. The contractor shall conduct a proof test of the buoy framework.

This test shall be completed prior to encasing the buoy framework within the fiberglass hull.

This shall involve securing the lower part of the framework and pulling on each corner of the upper part of the framework until a load of 9,000 lbs is indicated on the load cell. This load shall be held for a period of 5 minutes. Following the test all welds and materials shall be inspected for deformation and cracking. Any signs of cracking or deformation shall require repair and a retest until the test is passed. At least two weeks prior to performing this test the contactor shall notify the government so they can witness the test. The contractor shall submit a signed and dated certificate to indicate the date in which this test was successfully completed.

PAGE 12 OF 58 1305M219QNWWG0015

4.5 Material Certifications. The contractor shall provide vendor supplied material certifications for all materials used in the construction of the buoy framework.

4.6 First Article. The contractor shall produce and deliver a first article of the buoy assembly for inspection prior to commencing fabrication of the remainder of the articles. This requirement may be waived at the contracting officer’s discretion if the contractor has successfully completed a DART buoy hull contract in the past

1.0 PURPOSE

This procedure provides instruction for testing the DART II buoy well for leakage. Successful completion of this procedure is indicated by the application of a green tag to the equipment.

2.0 APPLICATION

This procedure applies to all DART II buoys, and it must be performed in its entirety before the units can be green tagged. This procedure is used for new buoys undergoing initial testing, buoys returned from the vendor after repairs, and any buoy that has returned from a station.

3.0 PREREQUISITES

One blank plug of the buoy faceplate must be drilled and tapped. An air hose quick connector must be installed into this location for the duration of this test.

4.0 DISCUSSION

DART II buoy hulls contain a complex payload of batteries and electronics. The hull of the buoy must therefore be kept dry at all times. This test procedure ensures that the DART II buoy well has no leakage. This test must be run before a DART II buoy can be deployed as a station. The procedure will verify that the faceplate, buoy hatch, and buoy well are intact and functioning properly.

5.0 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Air test assembly set including the following as a minimum:

1. 1 manual pressure regulator (0 to -5 psi)

2. Miscellaneous pipe fittings and hose

PAGE 38 OF 58 1305M219QNWWG0015

3. 1 relief valve (automatically relieves pressure greater than 5 psi) (Note: The valve will be non-adjustable and capable of independently reducing the pocket air pressure more rapidly than it can be increased by the air source.)

4. 2 pressure gauges (calibrated, 0 to 5 psig minimum range, 0 to 12 psig maximum range, readable to 0.125 psig or better)

5. 2 air pressure valves (manual, 150 psig)

Roll of Thread Sealant Tape

Pressure Gauge

Soap solution for leak detection

6.0 SAFETY

An improper air test procedure can result in extensive structural damage and serious injury to test personnel. Testing should always be performed by qualified personnel using proper equipment. Any procedural questions will be resolved before the start of testing.

Personnel performing the procedure should be familiar with the NTSC/NDBC Safety and Accident

Prevention Program Plan and the NASA Safety Manual HDB 1700.3.

7.0 INSTRUCTIONS

7.1 ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION

Complete the administrative section of the data sheet.

7.2 TESTING

7.2.1 The test will be conducted in the ambient environment in an area shaded from direct sunlight and rainfall.

7.2.2 Upon detection of leakage, testing will be suspended until each leak is repaired, the failure documented, and testing resumed at the discretion of the test director. This test procedure may be “redlined” as necessary, during testing and the test continued at the discretion of the test director. Any such deviations from prescribed procedure will be noted on the test data sheet in the comments section.

7.2.3 Record the serial numbers and calibration due dates for all test equipment on the test acceptance sheet.

7.2.4 Remove one of the faceplate dummy plugs from the faceplate of the buoy. Install the quick connector into the faceplate. Typically, this is accomplished by using an adaptor made from a faceplate dummy plug. An adaptor can be made by drilling and tapping a faceplate dummy plug to accept the quick connector.

7.2.5 Ensure that the buoy hatch and faceplate are secure to keep outer air from intruding during the pressure process.

7.2.6 Setup test equipment according to figure 1.

PAGE 40 OF 58 1305M219QNWWG0015

Figure 1- Equipment Setup

7.2.7 Pressurize the buoy compartment to 1½ ±¼ psig.

7.2.8 After pressurizing the compartment, shut off the compressed air supply, and leak-check all access covers, seals, and welded joints using liquid soap solution.

7.2.9 Once the compartment pressure has stabilized, record the pressure. Annotate the data sheet.

7.2.10 Record the final pressure after 15 minutes have elapsed. The compartment pressure must not drop by more than ⅛ psig in 15 minutes. Annotate the data sheet.

7.2.11 Locate and repair any leakage and retest the compartment. Leakage due to defects in plating or welds will be repaired in accordance with NDBC-8031.

7.2.12 Upon completion, replace the faceplate blank plug using Teflon tape.

7.3 EMERGENCY SECURE SEQUENCE

7.3.1 Shut off compressed air supply.

7.3.2 Open the manual valve to the vent.

7.4 APPROVAL

7.4.1 Complete applicable approval information on the datasheet.

7.4.2 Submit to NTSC QA for inspection.
