Section M.3.5 PHASE II, TEST EVENT 4 - SAAMI/NATO Pressure (Page 100)

Remove:

The government will review the Offeror-provided pressure test data. The chamber pressure for ten (10) rounds will be evaluated to determine if the submission is compliant with specifications for Maximum Probable Sample Mean not to exceed 58,500 pounds per square inch (PSI). Furthermore, no single round shall exceed 66,150 PSI (90% of the Minimum Average Pressure Value of Proof Cartridges of 73,500 PSI).

Replace:

The government will review the Offeror-provided pressure test data. The chamber pressure for ten (10) rounds will be evaluated to determine if the submission is compliant with SAAMI/EPVAT specifications.

For testing performed to SAAMI specification, Maximum Probable Sample Mean shall not exceed 58,500 pounds per square inch (PSI). For testing performed to EPVAT specification, maximum lot average pressure shall not exceed 58,700 PSI. Furthermore, for rounds tested to either SAAMI or EPVAT specification, no single round shall exceed 66,150 PSI.

007:

Section M.3.5 PHASE II, TEST EVENT 5 - Environmental Pressure (Page 100)

Remove:

The government will review the Offeror-provided pressure test data following exposure to extreme temperatures. The chamber pressure for ten (10) rounds for each temperature extreme will be evaluated to determine if the submission is compliant with the requirement that no single round shall exceed 66,150 PSI (90% of the Minimum Average Pressure Value of Proof Cartridges of 73,500 PSI).

A. High temperature exposure: Rounds shall be heated in an environmental chamber at 140° Fahrenheit

(F) for a period no less than 5 hours and no longer than 8 hours. Once removed from the environmental chamber, rounds shall be fired immediately, and the chamber pressures recorded.

B. Low temperature exposure: Rounds shall be cooled in an environmental chamber at negative (-) 40° F for a period no less than 5 hours and no longer than 8 hours. Once removed from the environmental chamber, rounds shall be fired immediately, and the chamber pressures recorded.

A. High temperature exposure: Pressure testing procedures shall be conducted in accordance with either SAAMI or EPVAT, except for the temperature and soak duration. Rounds shall be heated in an environmental chamber at 140° Fahrenheit (F) for a period no less than 5 hours and no longer than 8 hours. Once removed from the environmental chamber, rounds shall be fired immediately, and the pressures recorded.

B. Low temperature exposure: Pressure testing procedures shall be conducted in accordance with either SAAMI or EPVAT, except for the temperature and soak duration. Rounds shall be cooled in an environmental chamber at negative (-) 40° F for a period no less than 5 hours and no longer than 8 hours.
