4.7.5 Drying oil acids. The unsaponifiable, drying oil acids shall be determined on the isolated vehicle and shall conform to table II.

4.7.6 Color testing.

4.7.6.1 Instrumental color deviation determination. Test specimens shall be prepared in accordance with ASTM D823 Test Methods C or E using a nominal 0.006 in blade film applicator on to a clear plate glass of not less than ⅜-in (nominal) thickness, which has been ground to a uniform finish with 1F carborundum. A standard black and white Leneta chart is also acceptable. The color deviation shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D2244 using an instrument having a D65 light source (10-degree observer) or C (2-degree observer), a 45-degree illumination angle, a 0-degree viewing angle. The instrument shall be calibrated in accordance with manufacturer instructions and shall be demonstrated to read the color of National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST [formerly National Bureau of Standards; NBS]) traceable standards with color deviations not greater than allowed in

3.6.2. After calibration of the instrument, measure the CIE color values of not less than two color number 26307 of FED-STD-595 color cards which were received from the Government not greater than 1 year prior to the date of this use. Make at least three readings per card taken at 1-inch intervals on the long axis, 1 inch from the edge. Calculate ΔE for each color card. Determine the mean values of ΔE and the CIE color values for the color cards. If any individual CIE color value differs from the mean color value by more than 0.05, use a different color card and recalculate the mean values. These mean values will be used to calculate the color difference values. Measure the CIE color values of the test enamel using the values of three readings taken at 1-inch intervals on the long axis, 1 inch from the edge. Calculate the mean CIE color values of the test enamel. Calculate the color difference terms. If using an instrument that automatically calculates the color differences, enter the color card mean values as the base line for the color difference calculations. The results of the color difference calculations shall be in accordance with the requirements of 3.6.2.

4.7.6.2 Referee color matching. If the enamel measured in accordance with 4.7.6.1 does not match the color card when visually examined, an independent laboratory certified to the NIST National Volunteer Laboratory Accreditation Program for paint testing shall resolve the discrepancy. When prepared and tested as in 4.7.6.1, the color shall be in accordance with the requirements of 3.6.2.

4.7.6.3 Alternative color measuring equipment. Manufacturers can propose alternative color measuring equipment to NAVSEA or GSA by demonstrating that the particular instrumentation to be used measures the color parameters with the accuracy needed for color deviation. The manufacturer shall demonstrate the alternate instrumentation can provide color parameters that result in the color defined in 3.6.2 and establish correlation factors for converting his instrument’s color parameters into those of equipment meeting 4.7.6.1 by measuring an acceptable Navy Formula No. 111 enamel previously measured on an instrument meeting the requirements of 4.7.6.1.

4.7.7 Flexibility. Flexibility shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D522. The enamel shall be applied to a flat metal plate of approximately 31 gauge coated with a dry film thickness of 0.025 mm (0.001 inch + 0.0003 inch) of TT-P-645 primer by means of a doctor blade capable of yielding a dry film thickness of 0.025 mm (0.001 inch + 0.0003 inch). The panel shall be allowed to air-dry for 2 hours then baked for 24 hours at 100 to 105 C (212 to 221 F). The panel shall then be removed from the oven and allowed to stand for 30 minutes at laboratory temperature [nominal 23 °C (73 °F)]. The panel shall then be bent over a 3.2-mm (⅛-inch) mandrel or a tapered mandrel where the minimum diameter is 3.2-mm (⅛-inch) and the film examined at the bent under a magnification of five diameters. Flexibility shall be as specified in 3.6.3.

6. NOTES

(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)

6.1 Intended use. The enamel covered by this specification is intended for use as a finish or topcoat on equipment, machinery, furniture and electrical equipment in marine service where fire-retardancy is not required.

This product may be applied where air pollution regulations apply. This enamel is a non-lead, non-chromate, non-asbestos material. The dried paint film has been tested to U.S. EPA standards and the paint debris is, as of the time of this specification, a non-hazardous waste. It may be applied by brush or spray and is suitable for any metal or wood structure. During development, this enamel was easily sprayed with a Binks #7 HTES (high transfer efficiency special) gun. Spraying with a high volume, low pressure (HVLP) gun was successful using an AIRVERTER® HVLP Sprayer available from Smith Eastern Corporation. The basic formulation provides an enamel of a gray color. This enamel has been formulated to comply with air pollution regulations which allow a maximum VOC of 250 grams of solvent minus water per liter of paint (2.08 lb/gal) as delivered, and does not require thinning for brush, roller, or spray application.

6.1.1 Baking enamel. Baking enamel has been deleted from the previous version of this specification. Baking enamel intended for use on furniture, equipment, and so forth in non-reactor plant painting applications is now described by ASTM F1178. Color requirement of paragraph 3.6.2 is applicable.

6.1.2 Powder. Coating in the appropriate color of 3.6.2 is also an option for a baking version. Consult NAVSEA for powders acceptable in submarine applications.

6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:

a. Title, number, and date of this specification.

b. Specific issue of individual documents referenced (see 2.2.1, 2.2.2, and 2.3).

6.9 Material certification. Materials to be installed in submarines are to be controlled to prevent off-gassing, which contaminates the atmosphere and can result in health hazards to personnel or deleterious effects on machinery. These controls are accomplished through the Submarine Material Control Program, which is described in the Nuclear Powered Submarine Atmosphere Control Manual, NAVSEA S9510-AB-ATM-010 chapter titled “Material Control Program.” Under the Submarine Material Control Program, all materials considered for use on submarines require certification and assignment of a usage category. Under the certification process, candidate materials are selected by Navy activities or contractors, and a request for certification is submitted to the Naval Sea Systems Command, SEA 05S, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, Stop 5160, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376-5160 or emailed to commandstandards@navy.mil. The certification request is accompanied by detailed information, including descriptions of the material, method of application, usage, and storage. A chemical analysis is conducted, which is normally accomplished through off-gas testing. The off-gas test is required to be conducted in a Government approved laboratory designated by the preparing activity. Information pertaining to this test requirement may be obtained from the Naval Sea Systems Command, SEA 05S, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, Stop 5160, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376-5160 or emailed to commandstandards@navy.mil. Based on the chemical analysis results, a usage category is assigned to the material defining whether, and to what extent, the material may be used on submarines.
